  Design, Modeling and Simulation of a 2-DOF Microgripper using Piezoelectric Actuator

  By Royson D’souza, Suraj Kumar, Navin P Karanth

  Abstract: Aiming at the micro-assembly and micromanipulation of micro structures, a monolithic compliant-flexure based microgripper is introduced. This paper presents the design, modeling and simulation of a 2 DOF monolithic microgripper. In the proposed microgripper 2 piezoelectric stack actuators are used to obtain the tip displacement and the gripping force. The relationship between the gripping force, tip displacement in horizontal and vertical direction, input force and input displacement of the piezoelectric …
