COURSE SYNOPSIS
COURSE SYNOPSIS
COURSE SYNOPSIS
A 1 ½ day course that provides intensive coverage
of bearings, structures, fixtures, error models
best practices that are used to create precision
devices. Day 1 focuses on principles related to
materials, fabrication, rolling/sliding bearings,
structures, flexures fixtures. Practical
application of theory principles demonstrated
via examples drawn from Optics Machine tools
Instruments Consumer products Day 2
consists of (i) Hands-on experiments that link
theory performance (ii) Modeling of a
precision lathes performance (in
groups) Participants that take, 2.75Ps (see
right) have the opportunity to assemble test
the lathe they modeled in 2.75Ts.
A 1½ day course that consists wherein
participants use the concepts, theory
principles from 2.75Ts to create detailed models
that guide the assembly, characterization
operation of a desktop precision lathe. Emphasis
is placed on understanding how theory
principles translate into hardware how
precision devices are measured. Key themes
include (i) Mathematical modeling of
performance (ii) Integration use of
structures, bearings fixtures (iii) Use of
metrology systems to measure performance 2.75Ts
(or permission of instructor) is a pre-requisite.
Participants KEEP THE LATHE after the course is
done. Lathe cuts brass aluminum.
Plug-and-play CNC kits available at additional
cost.
A 2 day course that mixes theory hands-on
learning to provide an introduction to the
principles practice of flexure compliant
mechanism design. Day 1 focuses on modeling,
design, fabrication assembly. Fundamentals are
reinforced via case studies from Biomedical
instruments Consumer products
Nanopositioners MEMS
Biomimetics
Robotics At the end of day 1, students design a
device (compliant airfoil, precision positioning
stage, or bistable switch) that will be
fabricated via rapid prototyping on day 2. Day 2
begins with coverage of materials issues
applications, then ends with hands-on experiments
on the fabricated devices.
