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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearchers and engineers involved in micromanipulation and precision assembly will find this a highly useful reference for microassembly system design and analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2007-10-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387710884\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-71089-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 263\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661623083148,"sku":"9780387710884","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387710884.jpg?v=1776433058","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780387710884","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
