Time-based ON/OFF setting requires calculation for motion behavior parameters (e.g., acceleration, deceleration and laser response time).
Adjustment of delay time for each parameters requires repeating try and error testing until the target performance is achieved.
The target performance can be achieved by simply setting target laser ON/OFF timing by target position value without considering time-related settings (e.g., acceleration and deceleration).
One laser controller is installed for one scanner head for each part processing to configure multiple parts manufacturing. Errors among processed parts will occur as the instructions of controllers are not synchronized. Each scanner head needs to be adjusted and to compensate these errors by try and error approach, which increases adjustment time in proportion to the number of the scanner heads.
Synchronized operations of multiple CK3W-GC enable precise processing of multiple parts without the need to adjust the scanner heads. Even if the number of the scan heads increases, multiple parts can be processed easily.

Large-area profiling in FPD and other manufacturing typically uses the step-and-repeat method. In this method, the stage is moved to the irradiation area of the scan head, and then laser processing is performed. Stage stopping time makes the throughput worse.
The CK Series uses the on-the-fly control method to perform laser processing while moving the stage. This method can reduce the time required to stop the stage, improving throughput by approximately 35% compared to the step-and-repeat method.
