IDEA #34ULEZ The First In The World 3-Arms Microrobotic Piezoelectric System Prs-3

THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER IN UKRAINE THE FIRST IN THE WORLD 3-ARMS MICROROBOTIC PIEZOELECTRIC SYSTEM PRS-3 Description A micro robotic positioning system is extremely important in many fields including: life sciences, photonics, micro­ electronics, and safety/security Currently all commercial micro robotic system fall into one of three main classes depending on motor type: stepper-motor, vector-motor or DC servo-motor. LILEYA's newly developed precision micro robotic PRS-3 is unique software controlled posi­ tioning system incorporating a proprietary direct-drive motors coupling mechanism. The PRS-3 does not use a conventional electromagnetic motor; instead it uses an advanced piezoelectric motor. As a result it is superior micro robotic system that eliminates the well know disad­ vantages of all previous robotic technology, while at the same time providing other intrinsic advantages. Innovative Aspect and Main Advantages Being designed on the basis three rotary axes - vertical axis " 1" piezoelectric motors PM-22RS, horizontal axis "2" piezoelectric motor PM-22RS, horizontal axis "3" piezo­ electric motor PM-20RS (www.piezomotor.com.ua) such system provides large displacement range and high accura­ cy. The PRS-3 micro robot works on a direct drive princi­ ple in which the rotary motion of piezoelectric motor is directly coupled to the other piezoelectric motor. The combination of high torque, self-braking torque, variable speed and high angular resolution provide accurate posi­ tioning and superior dynamic performance.

It is suitable for applications such as: electrophysiology, e.g. patch clamping, microinjection, microscopy, microsurgery, microchip probing, re-work and Fig. 2. Micro Robotic System PRS-3 for r well plate applications prototyping, laser and fiber optic alignment, X-Ray orien­ tation, ultra-fine assembly, probing, soldering & testing, remote control. The unique positioning capabilities of PRS-3 and its miniature size means that it has important applications in many fields of science, engineering, medi­ cine and manufacturing, where all too often the tradition­ al methods of positioning tools rely upon standard Χ,Υ,Ζ micropositioner systems.
