Parametric Optimization and Stiffness Determination of XY Positioning Stage for High Precision Applications
Abstract: In micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) flexural mechanisms are widely used because of their advantages such as frictionless and wear less motion and high precision. Flexures depend on material elasticity for their functionality. In flexure mechanism, motion is generated due to elastic deformation of the beam from which it is made. One of the typical advantages of flexural mechanism is to gain precise deformation and flexibility to obtain motion in desired direction. …

Design, Development and Experimental Investigation of Biflex Mechanism for High Precision Applications
Abstract: Present article highlights at the achievement of XY mechanism that utilizes fundamental building elements, for e.g, beam of cantilever structure, double parallelogram and parallelogram flexural structures with respect to their execution aspects like parasitic error and stiffness. Distinguishing amongst biflex mechanisms is done in view of various parameters like stiffness, parasitic flaw and angular movement of deformation stage. Theoretical and finite element analysis is done for this and it is …
