Cover Story: The main problem existing in XYZ platforms is the mismatch between platform size and stroke. Furthermore, most of them cannot generate positive and negative bi-directional movement relative to the origin. To solve these problems, a 3DOF XYZ bi-directional platform using reverse arrangements of Z-shaped flexure hinges on the X-axis and Y-axis is presented in this paper. View this paper
