The Application of MEMS Sensors Promotes the Development of Industrial Automation




                                                                     More

Industrial automation is a trend in which automatic control and automatic adjustment devices are widely used in industrial production to replace manually operated machines and machine systems for processing and production. With the development of intelligent manufacturing, the level of HMI, automation, and intelligent applications continues to improve, and the requirements for the process and product quality of equipment manufacturing are also getting higher and higher. In addition, the application fields of industrial automation control products continue to expand, thereby driving demand for industrial products.

 

Industrial automation is a prominent business, and it is moving in a new direction. The increasing demand for variety, customized products and product differentiation makes it difficult for manufacturers to mass produce parts. However, small batch and mass production will bring huge costs to the organization. Enterprises can explore new technologies and new opportunities in the field of industrial automation. This opportunity is micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). After mechatronics, it is the era of micro mechatronics.

 

MEMS embodies an advanced semiconductor technology, which includes moving components and electronic components on a single chip. It is committed to integrating integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing technologies (such as complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), BiCMOS (bipolar junction transistor) Integration with CMOS technology) combined with innovative silicon micromachining 444.

 

The reliability, scalability, sensitivity and cost-effective solutions provided by MEMS technology provide a large number of MEMS application opportunities in the field of industrial automation.

 

In the era of industrial micro-mechatronics, MEMS technology is particularly beneficial to industrial robots because it can be applied to tactile sensors , navigation or proximity sensors . Due to the trend of low commercial feasibility and the deep-rooted industrial field of certain non-MEMS proximity sensing technologies, the application of MEMS technology to manufacturing proximity or position sensors is limited. However, MEMS technology allows the development or production of lower cost tactile sensors, enabling robots to obtain sensory information in order to make decisions and perform actions in a more versatile and autonomous way. The trend of miniaturization has brought opportunities for the application of multiple sensors in robotics, manufacturing processes, process control, biotechnology and life sciences.

Key technology drivers of MEMS

 

Cost: The main driving factor for the initial adoption of MEMS technology is cost. MEMS technology has great potential to reduce costs because it can be easily manufactured in batches. For example, analog equipment companies have standardized their manufacturing methods and can ship millions of accelerometers each year . Compared with traditional sensor manufacturing, the process is simplified and requires less labor.

 

Multi-User MEMS Process (a MU the MPS ) is a standardized surface micro- mechanical process technology, which is one use of the polysilicon produced MEMSCAP MEMS device cheapest manufacturing techniques. Silicon is the main material for manufacturing MEMS devices. It can make MEMS manufacturing very cost-effective and therefore very profitable.

 

Increased sensitivity: MEMS sensors are more sensitive than traditional sensors. This is the main reason why MEMS sensors are superior to traditional sensors, especially in high-precision and high-precision applications.

 

Small size advantage: compactness is the mainstream trend in the electronic or mechanical equipment market. MEMS technology provides the ability to fill more MEMS components in a small area, which can reduce the overall size of specific products. MEMS components with multiple functions can enhance the capabilities of products, such as industrial robots.



 

MEMS sensors penetrate into a wide range of applications to promote the development of industrial automation

 

Industrial automation is a mature market with mature processes. It is also price sensitive than the higher volume market of commodity sensors; and most processes are one-time investments. At present, the penetration of MEMS-based sensor technology in this field is often limited to process monitoring applications, industrial safety, mechanical monitoring, and it also has a certain degree of application in assembly line manufacturing applications. However, as the industrial field develops towards intelligent, distributed and wireless monitoring, MEMS technology may play an increasingly important role in this field. The trend of miniaturization and micro-electromechanical integration supported by MEMS is driving the development of components, equipment, systems and subsystems for industrial applications. However, concentrated research and development efforts to solve various technical and scientific problems will help turn in other fields and promote the development of industrial automation in the next few years.

     👉 https://www.jrpanel.com/R This articles shows how to read circuit diagrams for beginners in electronics. Learn to read electrical and electronic circuit diagrams or schematics. A drawing of an electrical or electronic circuit is known as a circuit diagram, but can also be called a schematic diagram, or just schematic. Circuit or schematic diagrams consist of symbols representing physical components and lines representing wires or electrical conductors. In order to learn how to read a circuit diagram, it is necessary to learn what the schematic symbol of a component looks like. It is also necessary to understand how the components are connected together in the circuit. Battery and Light Bulb Circuit Probably the simplest circuit that can be drawn is one that you may have seen in a school science class: a battery connected to a light bulb as shown below.

What Are the Factors That Affect the Cost of a Membrane Switch?

图片
  "How much does it cost to make a membrane switch? ”  It ’ s a common question we get from customers (and likely one you ’ re pondering if you ’ re reading this article). Unfortunately, the short answer is … it depends.   Since membrane switches are custom-made and include so many variables, it ’ s not feasible to provide a clear-cut estimate without first reviewing the specifications and discussing a few areas. However, based on our experience, three main factors impact the cost of manufacturing a membrane switch.   1.  Circuit design   The printed circuit is the most expensive layer of a membrane switch. Material choices and design (such as the number of traces) can significantly impact the unit ’ s cost. High-quality membrane switches typically use conductive silver ink, which provides the highest conductivity. Depending on application and budget requirements, lower-conductive inks such as carbon, copper, and alloys can be used.   2.   Number of layers and optional features

Points Needing Attention in the Production of Flexible PCB

图片
👉 https://www.jrpanel.com/R The manufacture of flexible PCBs involves several complicated steps, and extreme care must be taken. Some design or manufacturing defects can cause the entire circuit board to fail. During the PCB manufacturing process, please follow the precautions listed below: 1.  Use the right type and quantity of materials to maintain "flexibility". For example, if an application requires a 6-layer rigid-flex PCB that will bend during assembly and then should be kept in a fixed position, the correct type of copper and adhesive must be used. 2.  It is recommended to keep the circuit small. It is better to use a set of smaller circuits rather than a single larger circuit. 3.  It is not a good habit to bend flexible circuits around corners. However, some design situations require bending at the corners. In this case, you can make a gentle bend or use a conical radius bend. 4.  The copper used in the 6-layer rigid-flex board is easy to fall off the substrate. The
