The products of 3C, bioscience, medical industry, and aerospace industry are becoming smaller and smaller. The components of the products are made of various materials with complex 3D shapes requiring high accuracy in their dimensions and contours. An accurate micro-/meso-scale CNC machine tool is an essential part of this technology. A new type of CNC micro machine tool with a toggle-like mechanism having the characteristics of low-cost and fine-resolution was developed. With geometric reduction principle, the machine can provide finer feed resolution and better positioning accuracy without using high-end driving components and controller. The kinematics model and characteristics of the machine were derived and analyzed. Modal analysis and dynamic compliance analysis were employed to design a light-weight structure with good stiffness. The accuracy calibration results showed the machine can reach a positioning accuracy of 500 nm. Prototype of the machine was built, and furthermore some micro machining examples were demonstrated in this paper.

3D Shapes

The products of 3C, bioscience, medical industry, and aerospace industry are becoming smaller and smaller. The components of the products are made of various materials with complex 3D shapes requiring high accuracy in their dimensions and contours. An accurate micro-/mesoscale computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool is an essential part of this technology. A new type of CNC micromachine tool with a togglelike mechanism having the characteristics of low-cost and fine-resolution was developed. With geometric reduction principle, the machine can provide finer feed resolution and better positioning accuracy without using high-end driving components and controller. The kinematics model and characteristics of the machine were derived and analyzed. Modal analysis and dynamic compliance analysis were employed to design a light-weight structure with good stiffness.

Micro Machine Tool

Since micro products have become smaller, the requirements concerning precision and accuracy for producing machine tools to manufacture such small parts increased. Consequently, each component of a machine tool needs to conform to these requirements. A flexure-based feed unit, a clamping system and mechanical couplings are briefly presented. These components can quickly be reconfigured, which allows for a new modular micro machine tool system. Each component incorporates individual precision and accuracy leading to an overall error budget for a machine tool system. This is methodically addressed in the contribution.

Specific Construction

This article presents the hardware structure for a new type of closed loop positioning system using pneumatic energy. In brief, when the mobile subassembly of the system is about to reach a targeted position its speed is controlled by the small-sized pneumatic electro valves, which are commanded in modulated pulses. Here, we developed an electronic control system of which memory has a specially designed algorithm. In addition, the pneumatic engine has a specific construction that integrates a transducer of position as well as a braking system. The proposed mechatronic system is described by good positioning accuracy and low cost.
