The typical size of the parts is 20 x 20 x 0.5 mm. The parts are positioned with respect to each other by means of a novel alignment method that is under development. The required positioning repeatability is at least 100 nm in translation (x,y,z) and 17 μrad in the rotation (Rx, Ry and Rz). The test setup was realised and the first measurements results of the novel method of alignment are presented.AssemblyRepeatabilityAlignment6 DOF position measurementsMicro-manufacturingCompliant alignmentMEMStext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
