| Research Abstract |
This research analytically and experimentally deals with the problem on development of micromechanical devices in the precision microparts manufacturing system. One of the mechanisms is the microhandling and feeding device such as a flexible finger constituted by a hooked bimorph type piezoelectric member with a rigid joint. The another one is the microactuating mechanism based on a lever and toggle-joint combination mechanism which is constituted by bimorph type piezo members connected by 4 elastic joints and 2 multilayer type piezo actuators. The actuator is available to precision workings, punching, hammering and press, or cramp of microparts for precision positioning. There are many merits, for example, it has variable output force-displacement characteristics by bending of the piezo members which are applied the independent voltage, respectively.
The results obtained are as follows :
1) Microhadling and feeding devices
(a) Feeding and handling abilities are not influenced very much to its attaching posture, then a flexible constitution of the system is realizable.
(b) When the axial direction of the fixed member approaches the feeding direction, the feeding force increases and the feeding distance decreases.
(c) When the free member approaches perpendicularly to the feeding plane, the maximum free moved distance and the feeding distance increase.
2) Micro actuating mechanism
(a) The attaching angle of the lever member is available to set 90ﾟ.
(b) There is the optimum pole combination of the applied voltages, The bending moment acted in the lever member makes to return the input point of the main actuator to the original position. The moment generated in the toggle-joint member makes to boost the bending.
(c) There is the optimum voltage in which displacement of the input point does not cause. The miniature system is more and more realizable.
