    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to achieve high-speed movement and accurate positioning by providing a linear motor, which develops the symmetrical driving forces at both sides of a virtual plane in parallel with a movable plane and applies the forces on a stage member. SOLUTION: In an XY stage apparatus, a linear motor 30 is arranged in a square shape so that a movable stage 20 surrounds a moving movable region. Furthermore, a coil 32A is constituted so as to include the upper current path in the direction of an X axis arranged at the gap between the magnet line comprising permanent magnets 33Aa-33Ae and a center yoke and the lower current path in the direction of the X axis arranged at the gap between the magnet line comprising permanent magnets 33Af-33Aj and the center yoke. Then, on the upper surface of a base 10, a position sensor 13 is arranged at the movable region of the movable stage 20. The position of a position detecting point fixed at the lower surface of the movable stage 20 is detected, and the position signal is outputted. A control means 40 receives the signal and controls linear motor 30, based on the position signal. As a result, the movable stage can be driven at a high speed, and the accurate positioning can be performed.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a auto-focusing device which enables fine correction of the positional error in the direction of an optical axis that has effect on the focal position of a laser beam. CONSTITUTION:A robot wrist 12 is attached with a base member 13 that is provided with a shape enclosing the wrist at least from three directions, and the base member is connected vertically movably to an outgoing optical system 20 through a link driving mechanism 14. The link driving mechanism 14 contains a controller which performs fine adjustment of a position in the vertical direction of the outgoing optical system by means of the detection signal of a height sensor provided in the tip end of the outgoing optical system. Thus, the load on the robot is reduced.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stage position control method which is suitable for a positioning stage mechanism and can improve positioning precision and constant speed property. SOLUTION: A Y1 linear motor 71 and a Y2 linear motor 72 which can independently be controlled can translate and drive a Y stage 63 in the direction of a Y-axis. A Y1 linear encoder 76 and a Y2 linear encoder 77 detect the shift quantity of the Y stage and it is fed back to a Y control system 20 and a θ control system 30. The Y control system outputs a translation thrust command value by receiving the average value of respective position detection values measured by the Y1 linear encoder and the Y2 linear encoder as the position feedback value of' a stage translation direction. The θcontrol system receives the difference of the respective position detection values as the position feedback value of a stage yawing direction and outputs a yawing direction thrust command value. A non-interference block 40 outputs a Y1 linear motor thrust command value and a Y2 linear motor thrust command value from the parallel thrust command value and the yawing direction thrust command value. Thus, the motion of the Y stage is separated into translation direction motion and yawing direction motion and they are independently controlled/compensated.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a position controller improved in a constancy of speed and in positioning time performance by estimating and compensating the disturbance of a device without changing the hardware constitution of a device. SOLUTION: A position controller includes a PID controller 33 which generates a current target value ic for a motor M from a difference between a position detection value x and a position command value xc and a disturbance observer 10. The disturbance observer is provided with a signal processing means which executes high speed arithmetic operation by a program. A signal processing means is provided with a low pass filter 11 which filters a torque command value to a motor driver 34, an input torque estimating filter 12 which estimates an estimated load input torque from a position detection value, and a function which calculates an estimated load disturbance torque from a difference between the filtered torque command value and the estimated load input torque, and which generates a compensation value for the current target value so that the disturbance torque can be offset based on the calculated estimated load disturbance torque.
