Preface
After the successful conferences—MAMM-2010 in Aachen, Germany;
MAMM-2012 in Durgapur, India; and MAMM-2014 in Timisoara, Romania—the
4thconferenceonMicroactuatorsandMicromechanismswasheld2016inIlmenau,
Germany. This conference was organized by the Mechanism Technology Group,
Department of Mechanical Engineering at Technische Universität Ilmenau and
under the patronage of IFToMM (International Federation for the Promotion of
Mechanism and Machine Science), in particular the Technical Committees of
Micromachines and of Linkages and Mechanical Controls.
The aim of the conference is to bring together scientists, industry experts, and
students and to provide a special opportunity for know-how exchange and col-
laboration in various disciplines referring to microsystems technology. This event
has presented following topics: microactuators and microassembly, microsensors
involvingmovablesolids,micro-opto-mechanicaldevices,mechanicaltoolsforcell
and tissue studies, micromanipulation and microstages, microscale flight and
swimming, microrobotics and surgical tools, micron-scale power generation,
miniature manufacturing machines, micromechatronics and micromechanisms,
biomechanicsmicroandnanoscales,controlissuesinmicrosystemsandcompliant
mechanisms,andactuators.Inadditiontofocusingongeneraltopicsofinterest,the
last named topic was introduced new in this conference and found a great reso-
nance. This book has 22 peer-reviewed papers. The conference has exhibited high
international participation: the participants were from Germany, Hungary, India,
Japan, The Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, and Spain.
We want to express our special thanks to all authors for the interesting contri-
butions, which had covered the most of the given topics.
The editors would like to express many thanks to IFToMM for support of the
conference and for providing assistance to young scientists and engineers through
the Young Delegates Program (YDP). In the framework of the conference, three
young scientists from three different countries received assistance from the YDP.
Particular thank goes to the International Scientific Committee for their support
and cooperation: Burkhard Corves (Germany), Amitabha Ghosh (India), Antoni
Gronowicz (Poland), Just L. Herder (Netherlands), Antal Huba (Ungarn), Brian

Study on Polymer-Made 3DOF Spatial
Parallel Manipulator
M. Horie
Abstract In this research, in order to realize the functions equivalent to the
functions of the spherical bearing which is frequently used in conventional spatial
mechanisms, a polymeric manufactured hinge with Hytrel® (DUPONT Co., Ltd.),
whichhasexcellentflexuralfatigueresistance,havebeenproposed.Next,theshape
and dimensions of the polymeric manufactured hinge having low stress values at
bending deformation have been found by FEM analysis results. In addition, a
polymer-made three-degrees-of-freedom(3DOF) spatial parallel manipulator which
consists of this polymer-made hinge is designed and developed, and the output
displacement characteristics of the manipulator are revealed.

1 Introduction
Maintenance of the bearing, including lubrication is time-consuming. In order to
dispel the negative side, in the Horie laboratory, the rotation bearing was replaced
with a polymer material, and a polymer-made revolute hinge (R hinge) was pro-
posed. Next, design and development of a polymer-made two-degrees-of-freedom
pantograph mech. and a polymer-made three-degrees-of-freedom planar parallel
manipulator which consists of R hinges was carried out, and their characteristics
were revealed (Horie et al. 2002, 2006). In this paper, polymer-made spherical
hingeswhichcanrepresentthreedegrees-of-freedom(3DOF)assphericalbearings
