Servo Motor Torque Control

Semiconductor chips are fragile devices prior to packaging and require delicate handing. During Through-Silicon Via (TSV), eutectic, epoxy, or solder based die attach processes, consistent force must be applied to the the chip. Incorrect force application causes broken chips and incomplete bonds. Load cells incorporated into the die attach tooling enables closed loop con...

With advancements in prosthetics allowing fine motor control driven by a patient’s nervous systems, the use of miniature load cells placed at grip points help observe a wide variety of operating conditions the patient requires from their prosthetic every day.

The hinge then returns to its original position when that load is removed due to its high torsional stiffness. Because of this property, they are used in everything, from cabinetry and car glove boxes to laptops and monitor stands. This wide range of uses requires that these hinges survive and very often exceed the lifetime of the product. To ensure this, fatigue and cyc...
