            Abstract : 
This paper represents a case study of assembly of a gas sensor with desktop microfactory environment. The environment is illustrating the TUT Microfactory™ concept developed at Tampere University of Technology / Department of Production Engineering. This paper introduces and reports a case study of a microfactory system making assembly of a gas sensor. The sensor is a commercially available product. The assembly process and modules used including interfaces, controls, etc. are described and discussed.
