Micro-robotic Handling Solutions for PCB (re-)Manufacturing

摘要

Abstract The wide investigation of the last decades on a variety of electronic products in order to increase their performance while miniaturizing them, has raised new issues related to their manufacturing, remanufacturing and reuse at their end-of-life. This scenario introduces further challenges, related to demanding specifications, to be addressed with enhanced or new (re-) manufacturing processes, innovative systems, and advanced strategies. In this context, this paper discusses some challenging applications exploiting novel automatic solutions on different complexity levels of the process, from the component to the whole system, including devices, tools and robotized work-cells developed by the authors.
