Glass substrates were micromachined with standard needles and other self-made microtools. The machining can be described as electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM), where the needle or microtool (cathode) and an anode are dipped in electrolyte (NaOH) and connected to the output of a full rectifying wave generator with a current -limiting resistor. For micro machining a procedure is presented where glass and tool machining are integrated on the same machine. Microtools of arbitrary shapes were produced using Wire Electro-Discharge Grinding (WEDG). Furthermore, an experimental setup was made using a mini-robot with stick-slip actuators. This robot is positioned on a flat surface (XY<I» and has an additional piezo stick-slip unit (Z) for vertical displacement of cathode. Die-sinking and milling experiments, without rotation of tool, were done on cover glass in automatic and manual mode. Typical milling speeds were 0.5mmJs. Furthermore, several microtools produced with WEDG were attached to this mini-robot for glass machining.
