  • Glass Substrate Surface Acoustic Wave Linear Motor
    2020
    Co-Authors: Hiroyuki Kotani, Masaya Takasaki, Takeshi Mizuno
    Abstract:

    A surface acoustic wave (SAW) linear motor is a kind of ultrasonic motor. The advantages of the SAW linear motor are thin structure, high thrust force, high velocity and precise positioning. However, the stator transducer Material (Piezoelectric Material) of the SAW linear motor has constraints of size and shape. To resolve this problem, a method is proposed to excite and propagate a SAW on a non-Piezoelectric Material surface. Excitation and propagation of the SAW on the non- Piezoelectric Material is realized by the combination of a LiNbO3 plate and a glass substrate. The design and fabrication of the glass substrate transducer for the SAW linear motor are described. The design employs a novel transducer structure, which has been proposed previously. The glass transducer was applied for the SAW linear motor and the motor was driven successfully. Measurement results of the glass transducer and driving characteristics of the glass substrate SAW linear motor are also reported.

  • Surface Acoustic Wave Tactile Display using a Large Size Glass Transducer
    2007 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2007
    Co-Authors: Hiroyuki Kotani, Masaya Takasaki, Takeshi Mizuno
    Abstract:

    A method to provide human tactile sensation using surface acoustic wave (SAW) was proposed. A stator transducer Material (Piezoelectric Material) of a SAW tactile display, however, had constraint of size and shape. In this research, to solve this problem, a new method has been proposed to excite and propagate SAW on a non-Piezoelectric Material surface. Excitation and propagation of SAW on a non-Piezoelectric Material is realized by a combination of a LiNbO3 plate and a glass substrate. This paper describes design and fabrication of a large sized glass substrate transducer for the novel method to indicate tactile sensation using SAW. The design employs the novel transducer structure, which has been proposed previously. Using the transducer, two-dimensional rubbing motion is available. This paper also reports measurement result of speed of a slider under control. The result indicates successful display of roughness sensation based on the tactile display principle proposed by authors.

    Co-Authors: Masaya Takasaki, Hiroyuki Kotani, Takeshi Mizuno, Takaaki Nara
    Abstract:

    For reproduction of human tactile sensation, a tactile display using surface acoustic wave (SAW) has been proposed.

  • An Ultrathin Monolithic XY Nanopositioning Stage Constructed From a Single Sheet of Piezoelectric Material
    IEEE ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2017
    Co-Authors: Andrew J. Fleming, Yuen Kuan Yong
    Abstract:

    The paper describes an XY nanopositioning stage constructed from flexures and actuators machined into a single sheet of Piezoelectric Material. Ultrasonic machining is used to remove Piezoelectric Material and create electrode features. The constructed device is 0.508 mm thick, and has a travel range of 8.6 μm in the X and Y axes. The first resonance mode occurs at 597 Hz, which makes the device suitable for a wide range of standard nanopositioning applications where cost and size are considerations. Experimental atomic force microscopy is performed using the proposed device as a sample scanner.

  • Design, modeling, and characterization of an XY nanopositioning stage constructed from a single sheet of Piezoelectric Material
    2016 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM), 2016
    Co-Authors: Andrew J. Fleming, Garth Berriman, Yuen Kuan Yong
    Abstract:

    This article describes the design, fabrication and testing of a new XY nanopositioning stage constructed from a single sheet of Piezoelectric Material. The approach involves direct ultrasonic machining of a Piezoelectric sheet to create flexural and actuator features. An industrial inkjet printer is then used to create electrode features by printing Nitric Acid directly onto the evaporated metal surface of the piezo sheet. The result is a monolithic Piezoelectric structure with individual electrical control over each actuator feature. Experimental results demonstrate a full-scale range of 9 μm in the X and Y axes, and a first resonance frequency of 230 Hz in the Z axes. The completed nanopositioner is the thinnest yet reported with a thickness of only 500 μm. The new design method will enable a new range of ultra-compact applications in scanning probe microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and active optics.
