The first motion device 5 is stationary relative to the plane, the second motion device 6 moves forward along the second linear guide device 3, the third motion device 7 moves backward along the third linear guide device 4, or the movement speed of the third motion device 7 along the third linear guide device 4 is less than the movement speed of the second motion device 6 along the second linear guide device 3, at this time the moving platform 11 moves to the right side of the plane, the third motion device 7 moves forward along the third linear guide device 4, the second motion device 6 moves backward along the second linear guide device 2, or the movement speed of the second motion device 6 along the second linear guide device 2 is less than the movement speed of the third motion device 7 along the third linear guide device 4, at this time the moving platform 11 moves to the left side of the plane; The movable platform 11 moves up and down along a plane in the frame 1 which is perpendicular to the first linear guide device 2, the second linear guide device 3 and the third linear guide device 4, with the plane as the opposite surface.
