Variable Stiffness Mechanism for the Reduction of Cutting Forces in Robotic Deburring
Applied Sciences, 2021 One of the main issues related to robotic deburring is that the tool can get damaged or stopped when the burr thickness exceeds a certain threshold. The aim of this work is to devise a mechanism that can reduce cutting forces automatically, in the event ...

Parametric Study on the tendency of Stiffness Variation using Variable Stiffness Mechanism
Journal of the Korea Academia-Industrial cooperation Society, 2016 In general, a system can be stable when it is designed with a rigid material. However, the use of a rigid system can be limited, such as grasping a glass or using a small surgical instrument. To resolve this limitation, a variable stiffness mechanism was

Design and Analysis of Variable-Stiffness Fast-Steering Mirror
Actuators, 2023 The non-variable stiffness of the flexible hinge in the fast-steering mirror (FSM) cannot adapt to varying load demands. To address this issue, this paper presents an innovative variable-stiffness rotational mechanism designed for use with FSMs. Firstly,
