Abstract

A coplane air floatation orthogonal decoupling and air floatation ball bearing angle decoupling magnetic levitation vibration isolator belongs to the technical field of precision vibration isolation. Lubrication and supporting between a sleeve of a vibration isolator main body and a lower installation plate and between a piston cylinder and the sleeve are carried out through a magnetic levitation thrust bearing and a static pressure air floatation face respectively, freedom of horizontal rectilinear motion between an upper installation plate and the lower installation plate is decoupled through a coplane orthogonal air floatation guide rail, freedom of angular motion between the upper installation plate and the lower installation plate is decoupled through an air floatation ball bearing, a position closed loop feedback control system is formed by a voice coil motor, a displacement sensor, a limit switch, a controller and a driver, and relative locations of the upper installation plate and the lower installation plate are accurately controlled. The vibration isolator has characteristics of zero three-dimensional stiffness, high positional accuracy and rectilinear motion freedom and angular motion freedom decoupling, and can effectively solve high-performance vibration isolation problems of ultra-precise measurement device and processing equipment, in particular to a step scanning photoetching machine.

Problems solved by technology

The problems of this method are as follows: 1) Due to the constraints of material properties and structural stiffness, the amplitude of vertical and horizontal stiffness reduction of the vibration isolator is limited; 2) The vertical and horizontal positioning accuracy of the air spring vibration isolator is very poor, It cannot meet the requirements of the photolithography process; 3) To achieve a lower horizontal stiffness requires a larger pendulum length, resulting in excessive height of the vibration isolator, prone to string-film resonance, and poor stability

The problems of this solution are: 1) In the disclosed technical solution, the vibration isolator cannot achieve precise positioning; 2) In the patent EP1803965A2, there is no angular motion freedom of rotation around the horizontal axis between the upper a
