System and method for virtual laser marking
First Claim
1. A virtual marking system for simulating the performance of a limited rotation motor system, said virtual marking system comprising:
- command generation means for receiving data representative of a pattern to be marked and for providing a set of commands for marking the pattern to be marked;
limited rotation motor system means for receiving the set of commands for marking the pattern to be marked and for providing optical element response signals that are representative of virtual positions of an optical element; and
optical-mechanical modeling means for receiving the optical element response signals and for providing a virtual image of the pattern to be marked.

Abstract
A virtual marking system is disclosed for simulating the performance of a limited rotation motor system. The virtual marking system includes a command generation unit, a limited rotation motor system unit, and an optical-mechanical modeling unit. The command generation unit is for receiving data representative of a pattern to be marked and for providing a set of commands for marking the pattern to be marked. The limited rotation motor system unit is for receiving the set of commands for marking the pattern to be marked and for providing optical element response signals that are representative of virtual positions of an optical element. The optical-mechanical modeling unit is for receiving the optical element response signals and for providing a virtual image of the pattern to be marked.
