Abstract
Manipulators with guidance constructions based on elastic mechanisms are of interest for the increasing number of precision vacuum applications. Previously, the design of an elastic MEMS-based 6-DOFs manipulator was presented. Characterization in six degrees of freedom (DOFs) of a manipulator the size of several square millimeters, however, is difficult. Therefore, a scaled-up version of the manipulator was built. This ‘macro’ version serves as a research platform for the verification of the flexible multibody model including control that was set up using the SPACAR toolbox for Matlab.
