Abstract

In this paper, a novel six degrees of freedom (DOF) monolithic micromanipulation system is proposed and investigated. The goal of this study is to develop a parallel micromanipulator with large workspace and natural frequency utilising piezoelectric actuators (PEAs). Specific attention is paid towards designing, finite element analysis (FEA) and investigating the effect of dominant parameters on the proposed mechanism. Further, the inverse kinematic model of the proposed design is developed via FEA and is used for the study of manipulation motion and the coupling effects. Results show the performance and capability of the proposed design.
