Can you have it all when producing electronic displays?
Can you have it all when producing electronic displays? - An Aerotech White Paper
In the fast-paced world of electronics manufacturing, companies have long faced the trilemma of cost, quality, and speed. For decades, the conventional wisdom has been that you can only excel in two of these areas, always at the expense of the third. Producing a high-quality product quickly often comes with a steep price, while cutting costs can compromise both speed and quality.
This traditional compromise is no longer sustainable in a market where consumer demands for both high-performance and affordability are at an all-time high. Manufacturers in the display sector, in particular, are under immense pressure to innovate, streamline their operations, and deliver exceptional products without inflating costs.
This White Paper challenges the status quo and provides a fresh perspective on how to tackle this very trade-off head-on.
What this White Paper contains
This comprehensive White Paper provides an in-depth case study that showcases a real-world solution to the manufacturing trilemma.
Authored by Travis Schneider, Business Development Manager at Aerotech, the document focuses on the critical process of laser cutting in display production. It meticulously details how Aerotech, a global leader in precision motion control, helped a client optimise their process. The paper offers a direct comparison between two of Aerotech’s advanced laser scanning heads, the AGV20-HP(0)-2 and the AGV20-XPO-E2.
You will find a detailed breakdown of the testing methodology, which reveals how the AGV20-XPO-E2 was able to achieve a remarkable tracking error of less than 12 micrometres. This level of precision is not just a technical achievement; it directly translates to higher quality products and increased throughput, proving that it is possible to resolve the traditional conflicts between these key manufacturing factors. The document offers a blend of technical detail and practical application, providing a clear roadmap for achieving optimal performance.
