A novel three-axis nano-positioning device is proposed which consists of an X-Y table and a rotational stage on top of the X-Y table. Each stage is actuated by piezoactuator and the motion is sensed by laser displacement sensors. The simplified model of the stage was derived and the finite element model was developed to analyze the motion of the stage. Then the QFT algorithm was proposed to design robust controllers for the stage. It was found that the rise time of the stage is about 0.1 sec for a 10 um input. The positioning accuracy can achieve is within 0.1um.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
