Aerotech Optical Alignment Automation Animation

Project notes

Aerotech, through EMG, asked MayoFlux to animate optical-alignment and probing equipment where multiple platforms rotate on separate axes while responding to a single control point. The visual challenge was precision: if the rigged motion felt loose, the product story would lose credibility.

MayoFlux started from native CAD files and built a custom inverse-kinematics Xpresso rig in Cinema 4D. That rig let the team control compounded axis movement cleanly, while Redshift rendering carried the photoreal surfaces and product-demo polish.

The finished clip helped communicate complex automation behavior without relying on static specs. It also became a repeatable internal reference for high-complexity product animation involving synchronized mechanical motion.
