Design of a micromanipulator for repairs of printed circuit boards

Abstract

This work deals with design of micromanipulator based on pantographic mechanism with electronic control. The main purpose of this micromanipulator is repairing printed circuit boards, but it has been designed to be universal for any use case. The main focus is on creating device that will have the highest possible accuracy, while still being able to provide necessary force to carry out mechanical repairs of printed circuit boards. The work contains the design of the pantographic mechanism, stepper motor based electrical drive section and control circuits with power supplies.
