“…The research trend on microgrippers has evolved toward a micromechatronic system by including force sensing and servo control [6][7][8][9][10][11]. In the industries of information, material, and biomedical engineering, microgrippers that are capable of handling small objects have many important applications [6,7,[12][13][14][15]. In exploiting the compliant design and materials used for gripper mechanism, the researches of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) [16] and compliant machine [17,18] have stimulated the interests on implementing compliant microgripper systems to achieve stringent technological requirements [12][13][14][15].…”

A micromechatronic gripper was designed, fabricated, and tested with the proposed control system. By following realization axioms, the microgripper system including a polyurethane (PU) gripper mechanism and shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator was designed and developed. The micromechatronic gripper system was realized with crosssectional area of (π/4) × 500 2 μm 2 for clean room operation. A synergetic operation of SMA actuator for driving microgripper mechanism was investigated in visual-based control. By incorporating with inverse Preisach compensator, an explicit self-tuning controller through Ziegler-Nichols criterion was selected for controlling the self-biased SMA actuator. The application of the gripper system for gripping and transporting a glass particle of 30 μm was tested.

An innovative design of a polyurethane microgripper system with force sensor is developed for the measurement of gripping force in vision-based control. A microgripper mechanism integrated with a force sensing arm is fabricated by an excimer laser. The microgripper is actuated by a self-biased-SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) actuator. A computer-vision method through the ERES (Extended Regional Edge Statistics) algorithm is employed to track the motion of gripper. The position information of the gripping point together with the deflection of the force sensing arm is utilized for sensing force. A fuzzy expert with a PI controller in a visual servo is employed to test the performance of sensing the gripping force in grasping of 38μm diameter metal rod. In the performance test, the microgripper system provides a maximum gripping size of 40μm, a maximum force resolution of 1μN and a maximum gripping force of 58μN.

Machine material handling is complicated in micromanufacturing since standards are not applied and existing handling systems are not flexible. Usually, machine handling systems are highly dependent of microcomponent properties. If the microcomponent is changed, the handling system is also changed. The aim of this paper is to propose a packaging station based on a standard carrier to provide a product-independent inter-machine handling system. Microcomponents are arranged into standard carriers for unifying transport systems. This packaging station was designed to accomplish micro-bulk-forming requirements, but its modular design and its low microcomponent dependencies permit to easily adapt the station to new applications.
