This paper presents the design and characteristic analysis of a novel two-degree-of-freedom
(2-DOF) compliant nano-positioning scanner with novel compound decoupling-guiding …

Flexure hinges hold several advantages over classical rotation joints, including no friction
losses, no need for lubrication, no hysteresis, compactness, capacity to be utilized in small …

In this paper, a concept of totally decoupling is proposed for the design of a flexure parallel
micromanipulator with both input and output decoupling. Based on flexure hinges, the …

Piezo-actuated, flexure hinge-based compliant mechanisms have been frequently used in
precision engineering in the last few decades. There have been a considerable number of …

This paper reports the design and development processes of a totally decoupled flexure-
based XYZ parallel-kinematics micropositioning stage with piezoelectric actuation. The …

This article presents the design, analysis, and prototype test of a novel spatial deployable
three-degree of freedom (DOF) compliant nano-positioner with a three-stage motion …

The limited degrees of freedom (DOFs) of servo motions is an inherent deficiency in
conventional, fast-tool-servo-(FTS)-assisted, diamond-turning, highly blocking applications …

Micromanipulation is a hot topic due to its enabling role in various research fields. In order to
perform a high precision operation at a small scale, compliant mechanisms have been …

This paper presents the derivation of the kinetostatic model of a flexure-based 3-RRR
compliant micro-motion stage. The kinetostatic model has closed-form equations and flexure …
