Characterization of thin flexure hinges for precision applications based on first eigenfrequency. - In: Microactuators, microsensors and micromechanisms, (2021), S. 15-24

Flexure hinges with small cross-section heights are state of the art in numerous precision engineering applications due to their capability for smooth and repeatable motion. However, the high sensitivity to manufacturing influences represents a challenge. We propose a characterization method for flexure hinges based on the measurement of the free oscillation, to enable the consideration of manufacturing influences in the early stages of the design process. Three semi-circular flexure hinges with different cross-section heights and highly accurate geometry were investigated experimentally to compare them with three theoretical modeling approaches. The results for the three flexure hinge specimens showed small deviations to the predicted values from the models which is in agreement with the results of dimensional measurements. With each modeling approach, a deviation of the minimal notch height from the nominal value can be calculated. This value, in turn, can be used as manufacturing allowance for subsequent manufacturing of compliant mechanisms using the same manufacturing method. An exemplary compliant parallel-crank mechanism proves the applicability of the concept to compliant mechanisms with multiple flexure hinges.

Optimization of compliant path-generating mechanisms based on non-linear analytical modeling. - In: Microactuators, microsensors and micromechanisms, (2021), S. 25-35

Monolithic compliant mechanisms are often used in precision engineering applications for path-generating tasks due to their many advantages. They are mostly realized with concentrated compliance in form of notch flexure hinges and achieve their motion due to bending of the hinges. This contribution presents the non-linear analytical modeling of compliant mechanisms with power function-based notch flexure hinges and their efficient optimization of the elasto-kinematic path-generating properties using MATLAB. Different planar mechanisms are analytically characterized with the theory for large deflections of curved rod-like structures. A verification of the analytical model is exemplified by FEM simulations for a four-hinge Watt mechanism as a point guidance mechanism and for a 12-hinge pantograph mechanism as a plane guidance mechanism. Further, the exponents of the power function contours for each hinge are individually optimized on the example of an Evans and a Roberts mechanism. This is achieved with the goal of minimizing the straight-line deviation of their coupler points realizing a stroke of 10 mm.

Conceptual design of a microscale balance based on force compensation. - In: Microactuators, microsensors and micromechanisms, (2021), S. 103-114

Macroscopic electromagnetic force compensation (EMFC) balances are well established but were not yet demonstrated within microsystems. Hence, in this paper, the concept and the design of a micro fabricated force compensation balance is presented. The implemented concentrated compliance mechanism in form of flexure hinges enables motion with high precision, which is combined with a force compensation mechanism. The concept of force compensation promises a high measurement range, which is expected to be up to 0.5 mN, while still enabling a high resolution of less than 8 nN. The developed dynamic model of the miniaturized balance is used for the design of a PID-controller strategy. Here, continuous and time-discrete controller approaches are compared. The time-discrete controller with realistic delay times, leads to an accuracy of the controller, which is better than the expected accuracy of the integrated capacitive position sensor.

Non-linear analytical modeling of planar compliant mechanisms. - In: Mechanism and machine theory, Bd. 155 (2021), 104067, insges. 15 S.

Compliant mechanisms are state of the art in technical applications, especially in precision engineering. They mostly achieve their motion due to bending-dominated deformation of their compliant segments, i.e. flexure hinges. Accurately analyzing a compliant mechanism in dependence of specific flexure hinges is still a challenging task due to the monolithic design and non-linearities caused by large deflections. Most existing accurate analytical models are restricted to single hinges. Therefore, this paper presents a non-linear analytical approach to calculate the elasto-kinematic properties of arbitrary planar compliant mechanisms. The approach is based on the theory for large deflections of rod-like structures. As a typical example, a compliant parallel four-bar linkage with varying compliant segments is investigated by means of the proposed analytical approach. The motion and deformation behavior are numerically calculated with the use of MATLAB®. It is shown, that the analytical results are in good correlation with FEM-based simulations and measurements of a manufactured prototype. To demonstrate the generality of the proposed method, two further and more complex mechanism examples are considered. As a result, the implemented modeling approach allows an accurate and fast analysis as well as synthesis of manifold planar compliant mechanisms with distributed or concentrated compliance.

Ein wesentlicher Treiber in vielen heutigen Technologiebereichen ist die Miniaturisierung von elektrischen, optischen und mechanischen Systemen. Mehrachsige Geräte mit großen Verfahrbereichen und extremer Präzision spielen dabei nicht nur in der Messung und Qualitätssicherung, sondern auch in der Fabrikation und Manipulation von Nanometerstrukturen eine entscheidende Rolle. Die vertikale Bewegungsaufgabe stellt eine besondere Herausforderung dar, da die Schwerkraft des bewegten Objektes permanent kompensiert werden muss. Diese Arbeit schlägt dafür eine Vertikalhub- und -aktuiereinheit vor und trägt damit zur Weiterentwicklung von Nanometer-Präzisionsantriebssystemen bei. Grundlegende mögliche kinematische Integrationsvarianten werden betrachtet und entsprechend anwendungsrelevanter Kriterien gegenübergestellt. Der gezeigte parallelkinematische Ansatz zeichnet sich durch seine gute Integrierbarkeit, geringe negative Einflüsse auf die umliegenden Systeme, sowie die Verteilung der Last auf mehrere Stellglieder aus. Folgend wird ein konstruktiver Entwicklungsprozess zusammengestellt, um diese favorisierte Variante weiter auszuarbeiten. Im Laufe dieses Prozesses wird die zu entwickelnde Einheit in das Gesamtsystem eingeordnet und ihre Anforderungen, Randbedingungen und enthaltenen Teilsysteme definiert. Die vertikale Aktuierung besteht dabei aus zwei Systemen: Einer pneumatische Gewichtskraftkompensation und einem elektromagnetischen Präzisionsantrieb. Das technische Prinzip der Hubeinheit wird erstellt und die Teilsysteme im verfügbaren Bauraum angeordnet. Daraus wird ein detailliertes Modell des pneumatischen Aktors abgeleitet, dieser dimensioniert und dessen Eigenschaften bestimmt. Die Ausdehnung dieses Teilsystems definiert die räumlichen Grenzen für den umliegenden Präzisionsantrieb. Zur Auslegung dieses Antriebs wird das Kraft-/Leistungsverhältnis als Zielgröße definiert. Mit Hilfe von numerischer Simulation und Optimierung werden Geometrien für verschiedenste Topologien entworfen und bewertet. Die geeignetste Variante wird mit allen Teilsystemen in eine Einheit integriert und auskonstruiert. Abschließend werden zukünftige Schritte für die Integration der Einheit in ein Präzisionsantriebssystem dargestellt und mögliche Anwendungsszenarien in der Nanofabrikation präsentiert.
