MicroPack – Automatic Workstation for Manufacturing and Packaging of Microoptic Integrated Fiber Optic Devices
The project involves the development of robotic equipment for the manufacturing of fiber optic integrated devices based in microoptics for the telecommunication and the structural heath monitoring industries. Most of the processes currently in use in the fiber optic components manufacturing industry rely on highly specialized human resources. Research and development related to the scope of this project comprises a high material and immaterial value, since it corresponds to the adoption of automation concepts in prototype development and early pre-industrial production phases, thus strongly reducing the duration of the product cycle from development to market release.
