Active Positioning and Passive Fixation using Friction

In Capacitive Displacement Measurement Applications

Sensor positioning is critical for achieving a measurement accuracy in the picometre range with capacitive displacement sensors. This thesis discusses the contradictory requirements that the sensor alignment application imposes: motion capability combined with extreme displacemen ...
In order to overcome problems due to the mounting tolerances for precision capacitive position sensors, a thermally driven actuator has been developed. Friction plays a key role in this actuator. Due to the small internal displacements, a creep-based friction model explains the p ...

A new approach to print head movement

Proof of concept for linear motor positioning in an Ultimaker 3D printer

To push the performance of the next generation Ultimaker 3D printers further, a new positioning system is required to improve the printing speed, print accuracy and print repeatability. The expectation is that a linear motor positioning system will perform significantly better th ...
