Titel
Planar electrostatic grippers for precise handling of piezoceramic micro parts
Abstract
The direct integration of sub-millimeter sized piezo-ceramic micro parts into a microstructured sheet metal is a new approach for the large-scale production of adaptive materials. The manufacturing this novel type of piezoelectric actuators and sensors requires the precision assembly of piezo-ceramic micro parts. Reconfigurable transparent electrostatic micro-grippers were designed on the basis of numerical simulations and have been demonstrated to be qualified for the assembly task.
