Flexible Motion Systems
Polaris is ideal as a motion control and data acquisition platform for many industries. Some of these include the following.
LASER ABLATION
Support for high bandwidth voice coil motors and Galvos, generation of linear, curvilinear and Gcode paths, with high speed laser triggering makes Polaris the perfect platform for laser ablation and other laser processes.
AEROSPACE
Full 64-bit path planning provides higher resolution and accuracy. Our GHz real-time communication protocol, Mercury™, substantially increases data acquisition throughput.
AUTOMOTIVE
Mercury™ protocol enables extremely high rates of data acquisition.
MEDICAL
Customizable path planner and advanced control structuring allows for the implementation of custom kinematics.
COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL (CNC)
Superior form and finish is achieved using limited jerk and PVT profiles computed in 64-bit double floating point for precision CNC control. The highest GCode block rate in the industry is achieved with superior hardware and real-time networking.
SEMICONDUCTOR
Advanced control algorithms provide quick settling time and on-the-fly re-targeting, allowing for significantly higher throughput.
