Abstract:Optical micro parts, such as glass fibres, require handling and alignment accuracies down to the sub micrometer range. Addressing this task, one aim of the Fraunhofer IPT is the development of new concepts of active gripper systems. In this context a highly integrated, adaptive, rugged and economical gripper system particularly for accurate handling and alignment of flexible micro parts down to the sub-micron level has been developed. This gripper system can be used on conventional robot systems for carrying o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
