Abstract:For ultraprecision machine tool of the next generation, two novel positioning devices are invented by the authors. The first positioning device of nanometer and sub-nanometer resolution with long stroke is the Twist-roller Friction Drive (TFD). For long stroke with 1nm of positioning resolution, the TFD is driven by a servomotor, and it is driven by a piezoelectric actuator for short stroke with 0.1nm of positioning resolution. The second positioning device of short stroke picometer resolution is an active aer… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
