DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a high-precision three-axis turntable with two-axis linkage, including a first motor 334, a second motor 335 and a third motor 401; The third motor 401 is located on the base 503, and the third motor 401 is connected to the azimuth shaft 407 through the first transmission connection structure, and the azimuth shaft 407 is connected to the base 503 through the slewing support 406; The base 503 is provided with a transmission support, and the first motor 334 and the second motor 335 are installed on the transmission support; The first motor 334 is connected to the first small bevel gear 108 through a second transmission connection structure, the second motor 335 is connected to the first small bevel gear 108 through a third transmission connection structure, and the first small bevel gear 108 is connected to the mounting flange 101 through a fourth transmission connection structure.
