COMPLIANT POZITIONING SYSTEM FOR PRECISION
MICROSCOPES
Abstract: This paper presents the design of a compliant positioning
system driven by piezoelectric actuators, integrated into a high-precision
microscope. The paper is organized into seven chapters, with emphasis on the
design of three constructive variants and on the finite element analysis performed
for two different materials. Finally, a prototype was fabricated by 3D printing.
Keywords: compliant mechanisms, precise positioning, piezoelectric
materials, finite element analysis.
Cuvinte cheie: mecanisme compliante, poziționare de precizie,
materiale piezoelectrice, analiză cu element finit.
