With DrillOptimizer, the motion control specialist Aerotech expands its control solution Automation1-iSMC with a powerful feature for high-dynamic laser drilling with galvo scanners. The program, specifically designed for drilling large quantities of through-holes, significantly reduces cycle times—even with several million drillings—while maintaining consistently high processing quality. DrillOptimizer is part of the AeroScriptPlus library and is available both as a user-friendly interface in Automation1 Studio and as a .NET DLL, allowing for seamless integration into existing machine HMIs.
"The optimization of point-to-point movements in complex drilling patterns has long been a bottleneck. DrillOptimizer automates these steps, reduces process time, and ensures the highest precision," explains Bryan Germann, product manager at Aerotech.

DrillOptimizer is part of the AeroScriptPlus functionality and uses a two-stage optimization approach that takes into account both path planning and movement parameters.
* Optimization of movement sequences: DrillOptimizer calculates the shortest path through the entire drilling pattern – within a single field of view (FOV) or in combination with a servo table system for an infinite field of view (IFOV). This saves travel time and increases overall throughput.
* Optimization of steps and placements: For each specific step distance, individually suitable control parameters are determined – without the Galvo scanner leaving the predefined drop window. As soon as the scanner is in the so-called calming window, the laser can be triggered without delay. This eliminates unnecessary downtime between the drillings.
Technical advantages at a glance:
* Shorter cycle times through intelligent path and motion optimization
* Maximum utilization of Galvo hardware performance with consistent precision
* No delay in laser triggering thanks to dynamic parameter adjustment.
* Support for large quantities with minimal setup effort
* User-friendly integration via Automation1 Studio or .NET DLL
* Compatibility with the Galvo heads AGV-HPO and AGV-XPO from Aerotech
