Slow Bending Actuator

The Slow Bending Actuator is a basic Pneunet design that is based on the Slow Pneunet architecture. It is based on a research by Harvard University and the molds on this wiki are designed by Jonas Jørgensen - Researcher at the IT University of Copenhagen.

Fabrication

The fabrication process is based on the slow pneunet design and is similar to the one of the triangle mold and the gripper mold.

Mold files

Here are the mold files for the actuator:

Machine Limitations

The mold can be either 3d printed or laser cut, but the laser cut version would result in a more flat actuator.

Quantities

Basic shape

  • Top layer: ~35g
  • Base Layer: ~5g

Oven times

Basic shape

Air inlet
