Abstract
As part of this paper, extracts will e presented from the results of the joint project "MiniProd" which is being carried out by the Fraunhofer IPA together with industrial partners and sponsored by the BMBF (Federal Ministry for Education and Research/02PD2370). The aim of the research project is being to develop amarketable, miniaturized highly-flexible micro-assembly system capable of reproducing the correct size proportions between a product and ist production environment and also able to intelligently integrate processes which had previously run searately. Using the "plug-in" principle, the user is able to compose a miniaturized micro-assembly system from individual assembly modules. The overall system has been designed using the modular concept and will be presented here together with the hard and software interfaces of the individual assembly units and the "plug and produce" control architecture. A further topic will be the presentation of miniaturized process modules for the micro-bonding and precision handling of miniaturized parts and components, with regard to a laser diode application.
