McCormick Industries, a distinguished name in the aerospace cnc machining sector since 1996, today reaffirms its dedication ...

By using piezoelectric actuators coupled to the tool-holder, one can choose to use different passive and active controls, generating a more versatile tool to control machining vibration. However, one ...

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are soft transducers well-suited to precise motion applications in robotics and prosthetics. However, low dielectric permittivity or very soft elastomers result ...

In this paper, a modeling method of XY micropositioning stage with piezoelectric actuators is proposed. In the modeling scheme, a sandwich model consists of both input and output linear submodels, and ...

The attitude dynamics of an air spindle and platform testbed, controlled by two proof mass actuators fixed to the platform, are studied assuming that the air spindle is not exactly vertical. A tilt ...
