Abstract
Laser adjustment with sheet metal actuator systems is a promising method for high precision micro system manufacturing but is hampered by the amount of time and expertise needed for the design of actuator systems. The design process could be speed up by a computer assisted design system. This requires the simulation of the adjustment capability of an actuator system which can be done for simple actuator systems using inverse kinematics. Actuator systems which are fixed at multiple points to the assembly require the simulation to weigh in additional factors including elastic forming. Since most realised actuator system designs fall in this category it is imperative for a computer assisted design system to cover it. This article presents an approach to use a genetic algorithm to assess and optimise the adjustment capability of an actuator system fixed on multiple points, simplify its design and optimise the robustness of the adjustment capabilities.
