ABSTRACT:
A non-contact type moving table including a guide table having a flat guide surface at the top and a moving table which placed on the guide table and has a moving surface which faces the guide surface of the guide table. The moving table has air blowing openings that blow out compressed air towards the guide surface of the guide table and air suction openings sucking from the guide surface of the guide table, thus obtaining a single plane, non-contact type bearing or supporting system via the guide surface and the moving surface. As a result, the structure is simple and overall size can be small with low manufacturing costs. In addition, a wide range of materials can be used to build the moving table system.
