It is also a critical technology for retaining mdustrial capabilities in high labour cost areas such as Europe since up to 80% of the production cost in some industries is attributed directly to assembly processes. With the continuous trend for product miniaturisation, the scientific and technologi- cal developments in micro-assembly are expected to have a significant long-term economic, demographic and social impact. A distinctive feature of the process is that surface forces are often dominant over gravity forces, which determines a number of specific technical challenges. Critical areas which are currently being addressed include development of assembly systems with high positional accuracy, micro gripping methods that take into ac- count the adhesive surface forces, high precision micro-feeding techniques and mi- cro-joining processes. Micro-assembly has developed rapidly over the last few years and all the pre- dictions are that it will remain a critical technology for high value products in a number of key sectors such as healthcare, communications, defence and aerospace. The key challenge is to match the significant technological developments with a new generation of micro products that will establish firmly micro-assembly as a core manufacturing process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Koelemeijer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0387774025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780387774022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.37w x 1.01d","brand":"Sandra Koelemeijer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425014759679,"sku":"9780387774022","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee13f01d-99ff-4ea9-9804-5dba663be319.jpg?v=1761536413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/micro-assembly-technologies-and-applications-sandra-koelemeijer-9780387774022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
