چکیده
This paper deals with an overview of recent microgrippers. As the end-effectors of micromanipulation systems, microgrippers are crucial point of such systems for their efficiency and their reliability. The performances of current microgrippers are presented and offer a stroke extending from 50 m to approximately 2 mm and a maximum forces varying from 0,1 mN to 600 mN. Then, micromanipulation system based on a piezoelectric microgripper and a SCARA robot is presented.

متن کاملDesign Study for An Electro-Thermally Actuator for Micromanipulation
A new design for a polymeric microgripper was developed. Two microgrippers with different dimensions were considered. An evaluation between these models was performed using the simulation results. Finite-element analyses of the microgripper, using COVENTORWARE, are performed in order to evaluate the relation between the displacement, temperatures and the electrical current passing through the m...
