Development of a High Precision Press for Micro-Stamping

미세 박판 스탬핑을 위한 초정밀 프레스 개발

Hydrostatic bearings have been applied to high precision machine tools and instruments due to their high stiffness, high damping and excellent guided motion straightness. In this paper, we present a procedure for design and test of a high precision press with linear hydrostatic bearings. For a hydrostatic bearing set designed manufactured, measurements were made for the motion straightness, repeatability and bearing stiffness. They are found to be 1.36${\mu}m$/100mm, 0.19${\mu}m$/100mm and 1,261N/${\mu}m$ respectively. With some experience with the hydrostatic bearing, design aspects of the precision press is discussed.
