2010-01-19 The first Comb-drive experiment in SUT Thailand (Winai Wanburee SUT-SLRI)
This video shows the first comb-drive actuator experiment in Suranaree University of Technology, Thailand performed on Tuesday 19th January 2010. This electrostatically driven comb-drive actuator had 19 fingers of rotor with 30 microns width of each finger. It was fabricated by synchrotron x-ray lithography technique at micromachining lab, the Synchrotron Light Research Institute, Thailand by [...]
Micro actuator for fiber
Prototype of single optical fiber actuator for large (1000+) arrays to intercept individual star/galaxy images in telescope image plane for spectroscopy analysis. Each actuator covers a 19mm hexagonal area and can move the fiber in that area without interferring with neighboring actuators using R-Theta axis arrangement controlled by miniature stepper gearmotors. Only radial axis shown [...]
Scream ultrasonic actuator
The Scream ultrasonic linear actuator (mnrl.monash.edu), a microactuator that can generate about 1N of force. The video shows a bit about the vibration which makes the motor work and how the piezoelectric ceramics are put into the structure. Duration : 0:3:5
Testing of biometal micro helix
Biometal helix with coil diameter 0.62 mm (BMX 150). Measurement of elongation rate with ultrasonic sensor. BMX is tiny spring made from shape memory alloy. Duration : 0:0:44
