DESIGN AND PROCESS PLANNING OF MICRO GEAR MANUFACTURING

Suraj Kumar Sharma, Prashant Mohan Trivedi, Sourabh Gupta

Abstract: Today a large no of microstructures are already employed as separate components or as constituents of large modules in a broad spectrum of production in medical technology, optics, biotech, mechatronics, fluidics, micro forming and tool constitution. Current research activities are directed towards the downscaling of manufacturing procedures or the formation of complex process chains for the manufacturing of the micro workpieces in this paper we are going to design a micro gears and a suitable manufacturing process for making of micro gears. We are also going to study in detail various processing parameters and control technology of manufacturing micro gear by LIGA process. We are also going to design the micro gears or gear train using CATIA software.

Keywords: LIGA, Microgear
