Abstract: An automated manufacturing system that is flexible and scalable based on the needs of a manufacturing facility is provided. The manufacturing system includes one or more modular manufacturing units that are connected in series via a transport system. The modular manufacturing unit includes a base frame including a plurality of support members that are coupled to one or more feet; a main frame mounted on the base frame; a pair of opposed gantry support arms mounted on the main frame in a transverse direction, each gantry support arm including a rail; at least one gantry assembly slidably mounted across the rails of the gantry support arms in a longitudinal direction, each gantry assembly configured for performing a selected function or operation; and a transport system for conveying a device part through the modular manufacturing unit along the longitudinal direction for processing.

Abstract: A manufacturing system for applying a material to a workpiece comprising a blade unit having a blade element for selectively moving along first and second axes for applying the material to the workpiece. A reciprocating motor is coupled to the blade unit for reciprocating the blade element along the first axis concurrent with movement of the blade element along the second axis, and a vibration detector is coupled to the blade unit for detecting the vibrational movement of the blade element. The vibration detector generates an output signal corresponding to the vibrational movement of the blade element. A control unit is coupled to the vibration detector for generating an output signal in response to the vibration detector signal, and a regulating device adjusts a parameter of the reciprocating motor in response to the output signal of the control unit.
