A Novel Method to Reduce the Laser Drilling Time for Hole Cluster considering the Influence of Residual Vibration of the Sample Stage by Xiaodong Wang, Bin Liu, Xuesong Mei, Jun Yang, Xialun Yun, Xiao Li, Jian Li

“…By setting the allowable threshold of the residual vibration for the subsequent process, the sum of the time in deceleration segment of the trapezoidal moving profile, and the time when the residual vibration attenuates below the amplitude threshold (ST) can be minimized as the optimization goal. The results show that for a given operating speed, there is always an optimum acceleration value for the deceleration segment of the trapezoidal moving profile, which minimizes the ST value. …”
