3D-Force-Sensors

Project description

We develop and fabricate 3D-force sensors based on micromechanical cross-structures suspended inside a silicon frame using membrane hinges. Tactile pins carrying small sapphire spheres are assembled onto the cross-structures to enable the structural evaluation of microcomponents. Piezoresistive silicon sensors integrated into the membrane hinges enable the detection of smallest cross-structure deformations caused by the tactile interaction between the tactile pin and the micro object. The MEMS-based 3D-force sensors are applied in state-of-the-art coordinate measurement machines (CMM) developed by ZEISS, Oberkochen, Germany.
