The June issue of Mikroniek, click here for a first impression, features the theme of flexures and mechanisms.

 

Flexures, or rather compliant mechanisms, have become commonplace in precision mechatronics but new developments have popped up, concerning design principles, modelling theory and (additive) manufacturing. Also included are an account of the placement accuracy improvement approach at Kulicke & Soffa and a report of euspen’s 17th International Conference & Exhibition.

Structure-preserving model reduction

High-precision machines are often modelled as assemblies of flexible substructures, which preserves physical insight but leads to models that are too large for efficient dynamic analysis and control design.
