ABSTRACT:
A linear motor system for providing XY motion comprises a first linear motor directed for effecting movement of a first element in a first of two orthogonal directions. There is a second linear motor directed for effecting movement of a second element in a second of the orthogonal directions. The motors are mounted on a base such that the elements are located and movable in a single plane in the respective orthogonal directions relative to each other over the base. A shuttle is reactive with the two elements such that movement of the elements effects XY movement of the shuttle. The elements and the shuttle are mounted on air bearings and interaction of the shuttle with the elements is also through an air bearings to control angular movement of the shuttle. This system provides for very fine movement in an XY direction which can be precisely controlled while angular movement of the shuttle is prevented.
