Title
Micro-Conveying Station For Assembly Of Micro-Components
Abstract
This paper describes factors that constitute a micro-conveying station for assembly of micro-components. It incorporates micro-grippers joined up a micro-conveyer stage. The micro-grippers are fabricated from a mechanical structure in polymer using micro-stereophotolithography process and actuated by shape memory alloy wires. The micro-grippers can work in a space of 10 mm diameter and can carry out opening and closing movements. A neural networks identification and a PID control is proposed to closed-loop control the micro-grippers, and the trajectory control is realized on one finger. The micor-conveyer stage uses surface acoustic waves generated from interdigital transducers to move a slider onto the surface of substrate with a high degree of resolution (nanometer) and several centimeters operation length. A mechanical model for the energy transfer from the acoustic wave to the slider is proposed. A good agreement between the theory and the experiment is obtained.
