Abstract
For handling of a micromachine element and / or its parts, use of a micromechanical system is suitable. Thus, a pantograph mechanism is made from a plastic resin and superelastic hinges simultaneously using a small injection molding machine. The shape memory alloy having an effect of superelasticity is used as superelastic hinges. Therefore it is possible for superelastic hinges to have large bending displacements. The input and output displacements of the pantograph mechanism with superelastic hinges are measured and their linear relationship is confirmed. Then a micromechanical system for microbonding by adhesives is constructed using piezoelectric actuators, the pantograph mechanism and a needle. We confirmed that the proposed mechanical system performs well for microbonding by adhesives.
