Design and Implementation of a PCB-Based Torque Sensor With a Spiral Sensing Pattern
This article presents a novel torque senor, which functions according to the deformation of a printed circuit board that carries sensitive elements and can also serve as a sensor. The specially designed spiral copper pattern changes its resistance proportionally to the applied torque. Analyses, simulations, and experiments validate our design successfully. Compared with traditional strain gauge type sensors at similar capacity, ±30 Nm, our device shows the same high linearity, 99.8%, better accuracy, and in a much smaller size. Advantages include low inertia, high linearity, low cost, and the feasibility of rapid mass-production.

Optoelectronic Angular Displacement Measurement Technology for 2-Dimensional Mirror Galvanometer
The mirror galvanometer is a crucial component of laser cutters/engravers. Novel two-dimensional mirror galvanometers demonstrate less trajectory distortion than traditional one-dimensional ones. This article proposes an optoelectronic sensor that measures a mirror’s inclinations in two dimensions simultaneously. The measuring range, resolution, and sampling rate are ±10°, 0.0265°, and 2 kHz, respectively. With the proposed sensor, a closed-loop control can be further implemented to achieve precision laser machining. Its compact size and low cost meet the requirements of miniature laser engravers, which have become popular in recent years.

Visual Servo Control System of a Piezoelectric2-Degree-of-Freedom Nano-Stepping Motor
A nano-stepping motor can translate or rotate when its piezoelectric element pair is electrically driven in-phase or anti-phase. It offers millimeter-level stroke, sub-micron-level stepping size, and sub-nanometer-level scanning resolution. This article proposes a visual servo system to control the nano-stepping motor, since its stepping size is not consistent due to changing contact friction, using a custom built microscopic instrument and image recognition software. Three kinds of trajectories—straight lines, circles, and pentagrams—are performed successfully. The smallest straightness and roundness ever tested are 0.291 µm and 2.380 µm. Experimental results show that the proposed controller can effectively compensate for the error and precisely navigate the rotor along a desired trajectory.
