Survey on Recent Designs of Compliant Micro-/Nano-Positioning Stages
Zeyi Wu,Qingsong Xu +1 more
TL;DR: This paper is concentrated on reviewing the state-of-the-art research on complaint micro-/nano-positioning stage design in recent years and involves the major processes and components for designing a compliant positioning stage, e.g., actuator selection, stroke amplifier design, connecting scheme of the multi-DOF stage and structure optimization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operational characterization of CSFH MEMS Technology based hinges
TL;DR: A CSFH has been analyzed with both theoretical and finite element methods, in order to obtain the relation between voltage and generated torque, and showed that CSFH performs better than linear flexure hinges in terms of larger rotations and less stress for given applied voltage.

A novel piezo-driven microgripper with a large jaw displacement
Xiantao Sun,Weihai Chen,Sergej Fatikow,Yanling Tian,Rui Zhou,Jianbin Zhang,Manuel Mikczinski +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a two-grade amplification mechanism is introduced to enlarge the jaw displacement of the microgripper driven by a piezoelectric actuator, which adopts a hybrid flexure structure that integrates flexure hinge and flexure beam.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Control issues for MEMS
TL;DR: To close the control loop, extraction of reduced DOF 3D mirror models from finite element mechanical model is shown to be a very effective approach in predicting and optimizing dynamic performance of the nonlinear mirror drive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and manufacturing of mobile micro manipulation system with a compliant piezoelectric actuator based micro gripper
TL;DR: In this article, a compliant piezoelectric actuator based micro gripper is designed for handling the miniature parts and compensation of misalignment during peg-in-hole assembly.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Adhesion force modeling and measurement for micromanipulation
Yu Zhou,Bradley J. Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution force sensor using optical beam deflection techniques for characterizing object interactions at the microscale is presented. But the results of this analysis are limited to a variety of micropart shapes and materials.
