This project contains an open source low-cost, easy-to-build motorized **XYZ Micro-Manipulator** motion controll platform achieving sub micrometer precision. It's designed for applications such as optical alignment, probing electronic components, and microscopy. + Thanks to its parallel kinematic structure and miniature ball joints, it achieves good mechanical stiffness and a large range of motion. The motors are off the shelf stepper motors driven by a 30kHz closed loop controller and a very precise PWM signal.
