Research Theme |
Experimental
research on a novel piezo positioning system |
|
|
Brief Explanation |
Recently, a linear
positioning system built up with resonant piezo drives has been designed. In
order to obtain a stiff positioning system, the system integrates the bearing
function with the drive function. In this study, further tests are carried
out in order to define a control strategy. |
