<strong>The</strong> returning mechanism <strong>of</strong> locking metal shafts is further improved by replacing<br />

the solenoid mechanism with rotational servomechanism. Figure 3.9 shows the operation<br />

<strong>of</strong> the servomechanism to lock the rotation motion. Simple servo controller was used<br />

to control the movement <strong>of</strong> the servos. <strong>The</strong> rotational movement <strong>of</strong> the servos can be<br />

translated into the linear motion <strong>of</strong> the metal shaft by using a small scale SCARA arm.
