Capillary Forces in Microassembly : Modeling, Simulation, Experiments, and Case Study Hardback
by Pierre Lambert
Part of the Microtechnology and MEMS series
Hardback
Description
Capillary Forces in Microassembly discusses the use of capillary forces as a gripping principle in microscale assembly.
Clearly written and well-organized, this text brings together physical concepts at the microscale with practical applications in micromanipulation.
Throughout this work, the reader will find a review of the existing gripping principles, elements to model capillary forces as well as descriptions of the simulation and experimental test bench developed to study the design parameters.
Using well-known concepts from surface science (such as surface tension, capillary effects, wettability, and contact angles) as inputs to mechanical models, the amount of effort required to handle micro-components is predicted.
These developments are then applied in a case study concerning the pick and place of balls in a watch ball bearing. Researchers and engineers involved in micromanipulation and precision assembly will find this a highly useful reference for microassembly system design and analysis.
