This paper deals with the presentation of a new microparts feeding system based on inertial force and able to move microcomponents with various shapes and sizes. It is a part of our microfactory project, in which different modular elements work together in order to perform assembly tasks [1], [2], [3], [4]. We present the design and the experimental results of this new type of feeder based on the concepts of modularity and flexibility.
