Abstract

This paper presents a micro gripper driven by a new piston type pneumatic micro actuator. The basic structure of the micro gripper and the actuator are fabricated by silicon dry etching in a single etch step. The device consists of a pyrex-silicon-pyrex sandwich structure which was mounted by anodic bonding. Alternatively a SU8 depth lithography process was used to realise the pneumatic driven micro gripper. The assembly of various micro parts including a recently presented tactile silicon 3D-micro probe is described.
