Design of a Piezoelectric-Actuated Microgripper With a Three-Stage Flexure-Based Amplification [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2015
This paper presents a novel microgripper mechanism for micromanipulation and assembly. The microgripper is driven by a piezoelectric actuator, and a three-stage flexure-based amplification has been designed to achieve large jaw displacements.

Untethered Microgrippers for Precision Medicine

Small, 2023
AbstractMicrogrippers, a branch of micro/nanorobots, refer to motile miniaturized machines that are of a size in the range of several to hundreds of micrometers. Compared with tethered grippers or other microscopic diagnostic and surgical equipment, untethered microgrippers play an indispensable role in biomedical applications because of their ...

Development of microgripper system

2011 XXIII International Symposium on Information, Communication and Automation Technologies, 2011
The paper presents the experimental development of micro/nano robotic cell for assembling the micro objects. Three techniques for gripping of micro objects with micro/nano robot are presented. The first one uses a two finger gripper and is suitable for objects which are greater than 100 μm.

Optimal Design of Microgripper

First International Conference on Innovative Computing, Information and Control - Volume I (ICICIC'06), 2006
This paper presents a microgripper design and utilizes the topology optimum method to obtain larger output force and displacement. The goal of this study is to obtain the sharpest topology layout by simulation and computing. The difference between compliant mechanisms and traditional mechanisms is that compliant mechanisms have flexible pieces to ...

SMA microgripper system

Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2001
A microgripper system is presented, which consists of a monolithic shape memory alloy (SMA) device of 2 × 5.8 × 0.23 mm3 size and an integrated optical position sensor. By use of an integrated gear actuator, the motion of gripping jaws is transmitted into a linear motion of an integrated optical slit, which is detected by change of optical transmission.

Performance Evaluation Methods for Microgrippers

Volume 4: 19th Design for Manufacturing and the Life Cycle Conference; 8th International Conference on Micro- and Nanosystems, 2014
In precise manipulation and assembly of components with sub-millimetric dimensions, the role of the gripping tools is fundamental. In the literature, many different types of the so-called microgrippers have been presented, based on different working principles, to cope with the issues related to the gripping, the handling and the release of different ...
