MICROMANIPULATOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a three-freedom micromanipulator capable of carrying out easy and precise positioning, wherein a link mechanism of the micromanipulator having translational three-freedom as its main action is formed by a structure in which a solid plate is bent and stamped. SOLUTION: A base member 2 and an end effector 3 are connected by a three-link mechanism 6 which are formed by bending and stamping a flexible plate. A plate-type arm part 6' has a width in the direction around the shaft of the end effector. Hinge parts 6b and 6f which form a rotating kinematic pair R are formed at both ends of the longitudinal direction of respective arm parts 6'. Hinge parts 6d which form the rotating kinematic pair R are also formed in a middle part. Parallelogram links 6c which form a translation kinematic pair P is formed between one end and middle part of the longitudinal direction of the arm part 6'.
