Abstract
The progressing development of production methods in microsystem technology has led to a significant decrease in the size of microparts and an increase in their variety of materials, thus resulting in more and more complex microsystems. However, as miniaturisation proceeds, human beings increasingly experience performance limits imposed by the demands of the microassembly process. To a large extent these limits are even reached by modern precision mechanical products. Therefore, the flexible automation of microassembly processes, based on complex sensor feedback, offers considerable potential for rationalisation.
