Description

The assembly process of a novel micro-scale co-ordinate measuring machine probe is presented. The process makes use of a semi-automated miniature robot. The initial tests that led to the full process chain are described, and the full process chain presented. The presented process chain successfully produced four assembled probes. Future work is suggested to augment the presented process chain leading to further automation.
