Micro-Grippers with Femtosecond-Laser Machined In-Plane Agonist-Antagonist SMA Actuators Integrated on Wafer-Level by Galvanic Riveting
In-plane shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators operated in agonist-antagonist mode are integrated on silicon micro-grippers. The actuator elements are cut out of sheet material in a femtosecond laser ablation process. The assembly process is carried out on wafer-level, and the fixation realized by galv...
