Flexure mechanisms are a designer delight except for the limit of elasticity, flexure represent few other boundaries as far as application concerned. Flexure have been used as bearing to provide smooth and guided motion .For example in precision stage as spring to provide preload flexural joint are used as a spring in precision motion stage . Flexural mechanism have immense scope in their use for application involving high precision motion .There are many concept to build high speed or high precision manipulator. In this work Dynamic analysis of XY mechanism is carried out to determine frequency and mode shape.
