Abstract
A toggle type with one axial positioning machine can increase positioning precision and decrease the impact from external impact by using the three-links design.
Claims4
A toggle with one axial positioning machine, comprising:
- a first platform;
- a motor disposed on said first platform;
- a ballscrew disposed on said first platform and coupled to said motor, such that said motor drives said ballscrew rotation;
- a second platform, disposed on said first platform, is constrained to back and forth movement along a pre-determined direction, wherein said pre-determined direction is parallel to said ballscrew;
- a linear bearing covering said ballscrew and moving along said ballscrew and with rotation of said ballscrew;
- a first link fastened to a lower part of said linear bearing and parallel to said ballscrew, said first link moving with said linear bearing;
- a second link;
- a third link between said second link and said second platform, said second link between said first link and said third link, said second link being perpendicular to said third link, wherein said ballscrew rotates to drive said first link, said second link, and said third link to move said second platform along said pre-determined direction with accuracy to five digits under rotation;
- a fixed axis located on said second link;
- a first bolt connecting said first link and said second link, wherein imaginary lines connecting said first bolt, said linear bearing and said fixed axis form a lower triangle;
- and
- a second bolt connecting said second link and said third link, wherein imaginary lines connecting said second bolt, said second platform and said fixed axis form an upper triangle smaller than said lower triangle.
