Design of a SEM Compatible Slip-Stick Nano-Positioner with High Bearing Capacity

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new structure of slip-stick positioner with a high bearing capacity, which is designed according to the requirement of nano-manipulation in the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). In addition, to analyze the performance of the slip-stick positioner, a dynamic model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink. The experimental results demonstrate the excellent performance of this positioner and especially its bearing capacity can be up to 400g.
