Vacuum microgrippers are devices used to handle and manipulate small objects. Despite their simple working principle low cost, they show efficiency in detaching performance, especially when the object be grasped is very small. In this work, a particular design for vacuum with an incorporated automatic release tool considered. The final goal of study was present numerical model that can supply r...

Abstract To address coupling motion issues and realize large constant force range of microgrippers, we present a serial two-degree-of-freedom compliant microgripper (CCFMG) in this paper. output displacement compact structure, Scott–Russell amplification mechanisms, bridge-type lever mechanisms are combined to compensate stroke piezoelectric actuators. In addition, modules utilized achieve outp...

This article presents the design and implementation of a micropositioning system actuated by three piezoelectric stacks to control its displacements on XYZ axes. The use conventional buzzers allows us reduce fabrication costs. working or mobile platform is base for objects that will be manipulated, example, in automated assembling. micropositioner can integrated into microgripper generate compl...
