Sensor Fusion, a new 3U data acquisition device from Aerotech, provides precise time alignment of motion and data acquisition functions in electronics and other industries. Integrating data acquisition into the motion control platform is a cost-effective data acquisition solution. It provides quick and easy configuration and set-up for shorter development time.

The Sensor Fusion is applicable in any test, measurement, or inspection situation where sensor data must be precisely aligned with position. Major application areas include semiconductor, display, automotive and medical device manufacturing. It is available in desktop, rack mount and panel mount configurations.

Applications include:

• Aerospace
• Automation
• Automotive
• Data Storage
• Display/Flat Panel
• Electronics
• Laser Processing
• Machine Tools
• Medical Devices
• MEMS
• Nano technology
• Semiconductor
• Test & Inspection

Coupled with Aerotech's Automation 3200 (A3200) motion control software, the device accepts input from up to four different cards. Collection is synchronized in real time so there is no need for an additional alignment process. Cards are available for digital input and output, analog input and output, encoder input and PSO output.

Setup, data recording and data playback can be done through .NET, C, LabVIEW?, MATLAB? or Aerotech's own AeroBasic
