Pneumatic Contactless Feeder for Microassembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
The need of fully automated microassembly systems place specific functional requirements on the design and fabrication of critical elements such as grippers, sensors, manipulators and feeders. A new microfeeder design is proposed based on contactless pneumatic distributed manipulation. By cooperation of dynamically programmable microactuators, a number of feeding functions and even some elementary assembly operations can be

Contactless Sheet Metal Feeder for Metal-forming Machines
This paper deals with the investigation of a contactless sheet metal feeder for metal forming machines. The concept is based on an asynchronous linear motor in which the sheet metal is used as the eddy currents runner. First numerical analyses were performed by means of a parameterized finite-element (FE) model of the feeder. The focus was on the investigation of the operational characteristics...
متن کاملPneumatic Contactless Microfeeder, Design Optimisation and Experimental Validation
A novel contactless pneumatic microfeeder based on distributed manipulation is proposed. The part to be conveyed floats over an air cushion and is moved to the desired location with the desired orientation by means of the coordinated action of dynamically programmable microactuators. The design was optimised by CFD (Computer Fluid Dynamics) simulations. A proof of concept prototype was manufact...
متن کاملPneumatic contactless microfeeder design refinement through CFD simulation
A new contactless pneumatic microfeeder based on distributed manipulation is proposed. By cooperation of dynamically programmable microactuators, the part to be conveyed floats over an air cushion and is moved to the desired location with the desired orientation. CFD simulations are used to test the validity of the proposed concept and refine the design of the microactuators.
متن کاملMicrowave Doppler Transducer for Contactless Cardiorespiratory Monitoring
One presents the results of a study concerning the use of microwave Doppler transducer for contact-less detection of cardiorespiratory activity. The main element of the installation is a microwave Doppler transducer. The Doppler signal resulting from the movement of the anatomical structures is a complex one. The experimental setup also includes an electrocardiograph, a photopletismograph and a...
متن کاملPrototype of a Pneumatically Operated Heart Catheter Pump
Effective assistance of the cardiopulmonary system poses a particular technological challenge. In this work we describe an innovative system for temporary heart assistance in critically ill patients, which though minimally invasive – is efficient for recovery of the heart. An Archimedic screw drive that transports the blood out of the left ventricle into the ascending aorta is coupled to a pneu...
