阅读说明：本技术 制造sma致动器的方法 (Method of manufacturing SMA actuator ) 是由 杰弗里·法默 斯蒂芬·马修·邦廷 詹姆斯·豪沃思 于 2020-05-07 设计创作，主要内容包括：提供了制造SMA致动器的方法和用于制造SMA致动器的装置。每个致动器具有两根SMA致动器丝,并且每个致动器丝连接于在致动器的第一端部处的相应第一连接器与在致动器的第二端部处的相应第二连接器之间,使得致动器丝在致动器中交叉。该方法包括以下步骤：供应条带,该条带具有以连续图案形成在条带中的多个致动器坯件,每个致动器坯件包括所述致动器中的一个致动器的连接器；重复地,对于条带中的每个致动器坯件,相对于连接器定位致动器丝并将致动器丝连结到连接器。对于条带中的邻近的致动器坯件对,致动器丝可以经由一个致动器坯件供应到下一个致动器坯件。(Methods of manufacturing SMA actuators and apparatus for manufacturing SMA actuators are provided. Each actuator has two SMA actuator wires and each actuator wire is connected between a respective first connector at a first end of the actuator and a respective second connector at a second end of the actuator such that the actuator wires cross in the actuator. The method comprises the following steps: supplying a strip having a plurality of actuator blanks formed in the strip in a continuous pattern, each actuator blank comprising a connector of one of the actuators; repeatedly, for each actuator blank in the strip, the actuator wire is positioned relative to and joined to the connector. For pairs of adjacent actuator blanks in the strip, the actuator wires may be supplied via one actuator blank to the next.)
