Air bearing linear motion stages with high speed and ultra high positioning performances are always used in steppers or scanners which are the most important equipments in microlithography process. Excellent air bearing design is one of the keys to archive those performances. Good load capacity and stiffness are always the main design objective for designers. But experiment shows that air bearing stage with high stiffness and load capacity may suffer from micro vibration. The micro vibration is not the “pneumatic hammer” which usually happens to air bearing due to poor restrictor design. Its amplitude ranges from tens to hundreds of nanometers and frequency from tens to thousands of Hz. For an ultra precision linear motion stage which positioning accuracy level is about ten nanometers, the vibration amplitude is obviously unacceptable. Further more, the micro-vibration seriously lower system’s dynamic characteristics. To find the reason of micro-vibration, finite element method is used to analyze the air flow in the air channel of air bearing. The result shows that the turbulence flow in the air channel will induce the micro-vibration. So the laminar flow in the air channel is the key way to eliminate the micro-vibration of air bearing stage. To turn the turbulence flow into laminar flow, the designer must consider the radius of the air channel, the number of air inlet and mass flow rate of air bearing comprehensively.

The application of ultra-precision shaft parts is widely used, such as the spindle core of the air bearing spindle in ultra-precision machine tools. The precision of the spindle core is extremely high, and it is very difficult to obtain directly by traditional Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools but is mostly obtained by manual grinding, whose machining efficiency is greatly limited. Based on the deterministic figuring theory, this paper focuses on the ultra-precision roundness, optimizing the filtering parameters of the measurement error data and studying the generation mechanism of the removal function morphology; the shape of the removal function is adjusted by combining the analysis of the figuring ability and positioning error. Finally, the optimized removal function is used on an experimental steel shaft, the average roundness convergence ratio is 72% higher than that of the original removal function, and the roundness reaches a 0.1 μm level. The result shows that a reasonable filtering of measured data and the removal function adjusted for the surface feature can improve the efficiency and precision of deterministic figuring on shaft parts.

Five degrees-of-freedom (DOF) motion errors of an ultra precision feed table were measured in this study. The laser interferometer was used to measure the yaw and pitch errors and the reversal method was used for the roll error measurement. The linear motion errors in the vertical and horizontal directions were measured using the sequential two point method. The influence of angular motion errors on the linear motion errors while applying the sequential two point method was compensated with the data from the laser interferometer and the reversal method. Capacitive type sensors and an optical straight edge were used while applying the reversal method and the sequential two point method. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our measuring scheme for the ultra precision feed tables, five DOF motion errors of a hydrostatic table driven by a linear motor were measured and presented. From the measured repeatabilities of 5 DOF error motions, it was estimated that the measuring accuracies were ±0.02 μm for the horizontal and vertical linear motion, ±0.04 arcsec for yaw motion, ±0.05 arcsec for pitch motion and ±0.02 arcsec for roll motion.

A finite element model of an ultra-precision grinding machine that can have high precision and high stiffness is constructed and structural analysis is done with equivalent stiffnesses of linear motion guides by after structural design and the deformation of the grinding machine is obtained. In order to reduce the deformation of the grinding machine that causes bad influence, structural complement is conducted by adding ribs at the lower part of the column. Also, the straightness of the grinding machine is improved by lifting that the base side of the column.

Nano-stages are used in many ultra-precision systems, such as scanning probe microscope (SPM), optical fiber aligners, ultra-precision cutting, measuring and optical systems. Generally, ultra-precision machining and measuring are achieved using a nano-scale motion stage actuated using Piezo-electric actuators (PZT), and the importance of and demands for the motion stage increase with the need to improve system performance and accuracy. However, it is difficult to find solutions because the performance and characteristics of nano-scale motion stages are determined by various factors, such as the hinge structure, actuator, and method of system control. This paper focuses on improving of leafspring and planar joint hinges, and suggests a composite joint hinge stage.

The current developed micro-grippers are not effectively used in micro-assembly within the scale of 0.01-10mm due to some practical problems. In this paper, we present a novel integrated micro-gripping system. In this system, the vac-sorb gripper and the micro-gripper based on a linear motion stage are employed together to stably pick up miniature mechanical structures in different shapes and dimensions. The gripping force is detected in real time and used as a feedback to control the action of the system. The design of the system and the implementation of the feedback mechanism are described in details. Experiments are taken and analyzed and the results show the designed functionality of the system.
