Abstract
A fabrication system may generally comprise an x-y positioning assembly, a clamping head to receive an end effector, wherein the clamping head is coupled to the x-y positioning assembly, a z positioning assembly, a platform including a surface that is rigid and substantially planar, wherein the platform is coupled to the z positioning assembly, and a controller operably coupled to the x-y positioning assembly, end effector, z positioning assembly, and platform. Methods of using the fabrication system are also described.
Claims20
A fabrication system comprising:
- an x-y positioning assembly;
- a clamping head to receive a module comprising an end effector, wherein the clamping head is coupled to the x-y positioning assembly;
- a z positioning assembly;
- a platform including a surface that is rigid and substantially planar, wherein the platform is coupled to the z positioning assembly;
- and
- a controller operably coupled to the x-y positioning assembly, end effector, z positioning assembly, and platform;
- wherein the clamping head comprises a compressing handle to couple the module to the clamping head when the compressing handle is in a closed position to secure the module in the clamping head, and
- wherein the compressing handle comprises
- a handle end, and
- an oval-shaped end having a longitudinal central axis and a pivot axis,
- wherein the pivot axis is parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the oval-shaped end, and
- wherein the pivot axis is offset from the longitudinal central axis of the oval-shaped end.
