Abstract

This paper proposed an effective release method of micro objects by adhesion control based on the piezoelectric vibration. A micromanipulation system was presented to carry out dynamic manipulation. The operation strategy employing inertia force to overcome adhesion force was established by modeling and theoretical analysis. Experimental results with this release method achieved 90% repeatability with releasing accuracy of 4± 0.5μm, which was experimentally quantified through the manipulation of 20-80μm polystyrene spheres under an optical microscope. A novel triple-fingers gripper device was designed to achieve a perfect release effect. Tungsten tipped probes as the finger of end effectors were used to pick and place the micro objects. The probes were mounted on three cantilevers driven by piezoelectric ceramic transducers (PZT). 200 spheres had been picked up and placed on the platform. The experiment results shown that, with the help of releasing probe, the spheres of 20μm size could be released in 1s per time.
