Cartesian Writing Robot

• Handwriting from the writing tablet is recorded
• Cubic spline interpolation is applied on the recorded points
• PBA DX motor is able to follow the complex shapes written by the user in a smooth precise manner

Motors Used:

Dual Cartesian Writing Robot

• Responsive DX motors make it easy to execute the interpolation between 6 axes
• Two separated Cartesian robots draw shapes in a synchronized manner between the 6 axes
• Linear and circular interpolations between the 6 axes
• +/- 1 micron repeatability
• Smooth precise motion

Motors Used:

Pick and Place Gantry

• Demonstrates high speed motion at 1.5m/s 1G, high precision motion with repeatability of 50 micron
• Picks and place rectangular aluminum pieces using vacuum
• PZR is a rotary and linear motor designed for Z-axis
• PZR picks (linear) and rotate the aluminum pieces in one compact form
• Rotary stroke of 90 degrees and linear stroke of 10mm

Motors Used:

Tracing Gantry

• Simulates a motion control application such as laser cutting and glue dispensing
• 3 types of interpolation and hence motion, are demonstrated:
  • linear interpolation for straight lines
  • circular interpolation for arcs
  • cubic spline interpolation for complex shapes
  
• The plate mounted on the gantry has shapes engraved
• A drill bit is sunk into the grooves of the engraving, and it traces out the shapes
• If the motion is not precise, the drill bit will break
• The trajectories has sharp corners
• 30 micron repeatability running with a smooth motion at velocity of 80 mm/s
• Capable of moving at higher speeds of 0.1 – 0.5m/s for trajectories with no sharp corners

Motors Used:

XY Table

• Low profile and compact structure makes it easy to integrate in machine design
• High precision with repeatability of +/- 1 micron with 1 micron encoder

Motors Used:

• Simulating wafer die bonding process
• Table will move virtual wafer on screen to align each bonding surface to IC in the center of the screen
• 5G acceleration and deceleration
• 1um repeatibility

Single Head Actuator

• The LMS linear motor is the pedal of a pong game, it plays against a computer player
• The motor will move according to a simple AI, point to point
• The motor is fast enough to react to the point to point motion, it will not lose the ball

Motors Used:

Dual Head Actuator

• Demonstrates synchronized motion of two linear motors on a single axis (linear interpolation)
• Moves at a high speed with fast response
• Max velocity of 2.5m/s running at 3G

Motors Used:

Wire Bonding Table

• Fast response, high precision positioning table
• Carbon fiber motor bracket for low moving mass and high stiffness
• Positioning table is thermally isolated from motor
• 12g acceleration and deceleration
• 5kg payload
• 70mm x 70mm stroke
• Negligible friction
