Flexure-Based 6-Axis Alignment Module for Automated Laser Assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fully automating the assembly of laser systems puts high demands on the accuracy, but alike on the flexibility and adaptivity of the assembly system. In this paper a concept for a flexible robot-based precision assembly is introduced. This concept is based on a modular 6-axis alignment tool which has been designed as a hybrid serial-parallel manipulator with flexures for all revolute and spherical joints. Technical insights on the design and dimensioning based on analytical calculations will be presented as well as first results from the characterization of a prototypal alignment module.

A 3-D Tube Scanning Technique Based on Axis and Center Alignment of Multi-laser Triangulation
This paper presents a novel 3D tube scanning technique based on a multi-laser triangulation. A multi-laser and camera module, which will be mounted in front of a mobile robot, captures a sequence of 360 degree shapes of the inner surface of a cylindrical tube. In each scan of the sequence, a circular shape, which is composed of four partial ellipses, is reconstructed from a multi-laser triangul...
متن کاملReduce Cost of Optics and Final Assembly: the Benefits of Laser-reflection Based Ultra-precision Active Alignment
Aligning and centering lenses for cementing or positioning in an optical system poses different challenges depending on the final precision requirements and the methods used during alignment. Desired quality, efficiency, cost of components and capital investment all play important roles in selecting the correct assembly method. The LASER ALIGNMENT AND ASSEMBLY STATIONTM (LAS) is a dynamic laser...
