About
Jan‐Mark Vorstenbosch is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of precision assembly and micro-manufacturing, with a particular focus on the challenges of handling miniature components. His key research areas include vibratory part feeding, adhesive force dynamics, and vision-guided automation for small-scale assembly. Vorstenbosch’s major contribution is his pioneering analysis of vibration feeding for parts between 0.5 and 5.0 mm, where he demonstrated how adhesive forces—often negligible at larger scales—become dominant and must be accounted for in system design. His 2004 paper, “First results on vibration feeding of small parts in the presence of adhesive forces,” has garnered 3 citations, serving as a foundational reference for engineers developing flexible, non-contact feeding solutions. By integrating a vibrating tooling plate with a vision system for part separation and reorientation, Vorstenbosch advanced the practical feasibility of automated micro-assembly. His work is notable for bridging theoretical force models with real-world industrial constraints, offering a scalable approach to feeding delicate, small parts. For students and researchers in mechatronics or micro-engineering, Vorstenbosch’s insights remain a critical touchstone for understanding the interplay between surface forces and mechanical vibration in precision automation.
