An effort to optimise both mechanical and electronic/control components of ultra-precision devices is presented. The considered mechanics is compliant, which overcomes the non-linearities of conventional devices. Design guidelines for hinge optimisation are given and a preliminary consideration of the scaling effects is performed. The developed control system is based on a rapid controller prototyping platform consisting of a Compact-PCI system running under the Linux RTAI real-time extension.
