This paper presents a control system to assemble hybrid micro-components with a micro-factory. The assembly system is based on image processing techniques that feed relevant information to an automata based control system. The scene containing the micro-components that must be assembled is analysed taking advantage of the finite number of...

Board of Mechanical Engineering of La Spezia Surface micro-geometry is a very important source of information about the chip removal process. Cutting processes are inherently non-stationary due to irreversible changes of the cutting tool geometry. The diffraction patterns obtained by a laser beam illuminating the surface of a workpiece during...

This paper presents a control system to assemble hybrid micro-components with a micro-factory. The system is based on image processing techniques that feed relevant information to an automata based control sub-system. The scene containing the micro-components that must be assembled is analysed taking advantage of the finite number of typologies...

Reverse engineering technologies are nowadays increasingly used in many industrial applications, notably to cut products developing time and reduce time to market. In this paper a comparison between a conoscopic non-contact 3D probe and an active piezoelectric contact sensor is presented

Hybrid micro-products permit innovative applications in many fields from industry to health. To reduce their cost and increase their diffusion into market, efficient and smart automatic assembly systems must be developed. This paper presents the results of a project carried out jointly by five university laboratories for assessing and...
