Assembly Line Production In Vacuum
A special challenge for the Eschbacher engineers was an assembly-line production under vacuum with 10-6 mbar. It was necessary to integrate a fully automated Assembly of sandwich a beam with a precision slide and a rear counterpart into the production run. This must 1 m large foil with an accuracy of +/-20 m to the vehicle will be positioned. Because the position of the wearer vary, came only a positioning system with six degrees of freedom for the Assembly, which could not take more than 10 seconds, question. For the desired procedures by 50 mm in loading direction and 20 mm across it, a SpaceFab from Eschbach is recommended due to its low construction height. The system developed for this case can move without another load of 100 kg arm vibration, fast and very accurate.
A sophisticated combination of mechanics, pitch and high-resolution encoder provides the key. Developed to deliver the necessary dynamism also specifically for this application three-phase servomotors. Also a vacuum suitable for holding brake was redesigned as the solutions available on the market in terms of material properties and loss services not meet the requirements of this application. For the software to control the sandwich Assembly as well as the integration of the readings from sensors and cameras took over PI miCos the responsibility as well as for the monitoring of the gripper magnets. Thus, the medium-sized businesses proved that it quite projects is up to the requirements for complex multidisciplinary high-tech. The miCos GmbH was founded in 1990 in Eschbach in Freiburg and belongs today as PI miCos physics instruments (PI) to the powerful group of the Karlsruhe-based company. With over 50 employees, develops, manufactures, and distributes the Brisgavi companies worldwide innovative systems and components for high-precision positioning applications.
The optical measurement technology is a focus in research and industry. Offers for this PI miCos in addition to an extensive Standard range customer-specific system solutions with multiple axes of. A broad application know-how is the guarantor for the implementation of technically demanding solutions. Flexible positioning systems for ultra-high vacuum applications provide this as an example of how parallel kinematic hexapods with six degrees of freedom with linear motors and air bearings.
