Flexure-Based Slit Mechanism – Opto-Mechanical Design

This project involved the design of a flexure-based slit mechanism for an opto-mechanical application requiring precise motion control, high repeatability, and mechanical stability without friction or backlash. The design was developed to support optical systems where micron-level positioning accuracy and long-term reliability are crit
