Active Gripper for Hot Melt Joining of Micro Components
Abstract
Precision assembly of hybrid micro systems requires
not only a high precision handling and adjusting of the parts but also a
highly accurate and fast bonding technique. In this field adhesive
technology is one of the major joining techniques. At the Collaboration
Research Center 516, a batch process based on a joining technique using
hot melt adhesives was developed. This technique allows the coating of
micro components with hot melt in a batch. The coating process is
followed by the joining process. Due to this, the time between coating
and joining can be designed variably. Because of the short set times of
hot melt adhesives short joining times are possible. For this assembly
process adapted heat management and adapted gripper systems are very
important. Primarily, the conception and construction of suitable
grippers, which realize the complex requirements of the heat management,
meet a high challenge. This paper presents an active gripper system for
the joining of micro parts using hot melt adhesives. Furthermore, first
examinations and results of an assembly process using this gripper for
bonding with hot melt adhesives are presented.
