This paper applies a combined precision stage to fabricate micro-structures by two-photon polymerization (TPP). The combined stage consists of PZT and stepper-motor stages to achieve precision positioning in long displacements. First, we derive the models of the stages by identification experiments. Second, we apply robust loop-shaping techniques to improve the positioning performance of the stages. Third, we integrate the stages and develop a multi-loop control structure to provide long-stroke and high precision. In addition, we propose coordinate transformation and anti-locking functions for further improvement of the system performance. Last, we apply the combined stage to a TPP system for fabricating micro-structures, and define performance indexes based on image processing and optical qualities. The obtained performance criteria can be used to adjust controller design to improve precision manufacturing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
