This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will address the feasibility of a next-generation machine designed for flexible fabrication in vacuum processes and other micromachining applications. It is a novel machine tool based on parallel platform robotics technology and is coupled with a standardized machine tool interface for existing integrated manufacturing applications. The positioning system will have full six-axis motion, plus a redundant seventh axis permitting operation as either the tool or workpiece holder for numerous advanced manufacturing applications. The technology is expected to benefit vacuum- and micropositioning-related industries by enabling affordable, precision components to be produced in small lots. Phase I objectives include specification of the positioning system, development of a fully articulated laboratory model in a 3-D solid modeling environment, preliminary integration of manufacturing software into the virtual machine environment, performance assessment, laboratory model demonstration, and engineering model design. A standardized, multi-faceted seven-axis positioning system, designed for vacuum use, will find numerous flexible manufacturing applications in electronic materials, metallurgy, optical coatings, thick-film coatings, instrumentation, tooling, forming, shaping, precision cutting, grinding, and drilling, as well as laser processing of advanced materials.

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将解决下一代机器的可行性，该机器专为真空工艺和其他微加工应用中的灵活制造而设计。 它是一种基于并联平台机器人技术的新型机床，并与现有集成制造应用的标准化机床接口相结合。 定位系统将有完整的六轴运动，加上一个冗余的第七轴允许操作的工具或工件保持器的许多先进的制造应用。 该技术预计将有利于真空和微定位相关行业，使负担得起的，精密部件，以小批量生产。 第一阶段的目标包括定位系统的规格，在3-D实体建模环境中开发一个完全铰接的实验室模型，将制造软件初步集成到虚拟机环境中，性能评估，实验室模型演示和工程模型设计。 一个标准化的、多方面的七轴定位系统，专为真空应用而设计，将在电子材料、冶金、光学涂层、厚膜涂层、仪器仪表、工具、成型、整形、精密切割、磨削和钻孔以及先进材料的激光加工中找到众多灵活的制造应用。
