Description
Recent micropositioning devices attain resolutions of the order of nanometers respectively tenth of microradians, with guiding ranges between some ten micrometers and millimeters, respectively from a few to one hundred milliradians. Applications are typically found in optical instrumentation,semiconductor manufacturing and very accurate machine tools. The seminar is aimed at giving an overview of both components of micropositioning systems (actuators, guidings, sensors, amplifiers and signal processing electronics) and design practice (performance budget partitioning, static and dynamic limitations, control loop design, structure modes). Special emphasis is put on the explanation of the dynamic behavior and the vibration compensation of such equipment. The participants will be able to exercise the proposed system design methodology through application examples.
