The realized device is based on a six-axis parallel mechanism and piezo-positioners using stick-slip principle and providing nanometre resolution. Results of this paper show that the flexure-based design allows realizing nanometre steps with the moving platform in all axes.enDesign and optimization of flexure-based micromanipulator for optics alignmentconference paper
