In ultra-precision processes, such as aerospace parts and precision mold machining, the accuracy of a feed drive system should be secured to achieve sufficient form accuracy. Dual-Servo stages, which compensate for multi-DOF motion errors, are being developed depending on the applied processes. This paper deals with the fine stage of a dual-servo stage to compensate for 6-DOF motion errors of a linear stage. The proposed fine stage measured 6-DOF errors of the linear stage motion with capacitive sensors, a reference mirror, and an optical encoder. It compensated for the errors using the flexure hinge mechanism with piezo actuators. The error equations and the inverse kinematics were derived to calculate the 6- DOF errors and displacements of piezo actuators for 6-DOF motions, respectively. Performance evaluation was implemented to verify feasibility of the developed fine stage of the fabricated dual-servo stage. Through the step response test of the fine stage, compensation resolutions for the translational and the rotational motion were confirmed to be less than 10 nm and 1/3 arcsec, respectively. The 6-DOF motion errors in the verification test were reduced by 73% on average.

A fine stage is developed for the 3-DOF error compensation of a linear axis in order to improve the positioning accuracy. This stage is designed as a planar parallel mechanism, and the joints are based on a flexure hinge to achieve ultra-precise positioning. Also, the effect of Abbe’s offsets between the measuring and driving coordinate systems is minimized to ensure an exact error compensation. The mode shapes of the designed stage are analyzed to verify the desired 3-DOF motions, and the workspace and displacement of a piezoelectric actuator (PZT) for compensation are analyzed using forward and inverse kinematics. The 3-DOF error of a linear axis is measured and compensated by using the developed fine stage. A marked improvement is observed compared to the results obtained without error compensation. The peak-to-valley (PV) values of the positional and rotational errors are reduced by 92.6% and 91.3%, respectively.
