The Design and Optimization of Micro-Displacement Worktable

Article Preview

Abstract:

The micro-displacement worktable is the main part of precise mechanical scanning systems. In the study the worktable is used for single-axis precise positioning and combines a piezoelectric driving element and monolithic flexure hinge mechanism to achieve a compact, vacuum compatible device with the resolution of 0.1nm over the range of 10um.The worktable is designed and optimized on the basis of comparing two types of parallel four-bar flexure hinge mechanism. Additionally, stiffness radio is defined for evaluating the guide performance, and good optimization result is achieved through simulation.
