Mikroniek April issue: Progress in Actuator Technology

The April issue of Mikroniek is devoted to progress in actuator technology.

The main theme feature presents a 6-DoF-controlled magnetically levitated sample stage with an infinite rotation around the vertical axis and a stroke of 3 mm in three directions. Other theme articles include an actuator matrix design approach for over-actuated systems, TNO’s hybrid variable-reluctance actuator technology debuting on-sky, and an overview of piezo precision positioning principles. Also in this issue, a Rapid Learning Cycles pilot at VDL ETG and a report of euspen’s latest SIG Meeting on thermal issues.

Order of frictions and stiffnesses…

For lumped systems consisting of different frictions and stiffnesses, there has been confusion in literature about hysteresis curves and virtual play for many decades.

Make it clean

In mid-April, the second edition of the Manufacturing Technology Conference and the fifth edition of the Clean Event were held together, for the first time, at the Koningshof in Veldhoven (NL).

Bringing particles to light

Particle contamination monitoring and cleanliness control are fundamental to micromanufacturing processes across diverse industries to achieve cost-effective production of high-quality and reliable microscale devices and components.
