Abstract:
The present invention provides a scanner capable of achieving both a wide range of measurements and a high-speed and high-precision measurement.
A scanner comprising: an outer frame; a first inner frame disposed inside the outer frame; a wide range Y actuator for moving the first inner frame relative to the outer frame in the Y direction; a second inner frame disposed inside the first inner frame; a wide range X actuator for moving the second inner frame relative to the first inner frame in the X direction orthogonal to the Y direction; a third inner frame disposed inside the second inner frame; a narrow range Y actuator for moving the third inner frame relative to the second inner frame in the Y direction; a movable foundation disposed inside the third inner frame; and a narrow range X actuator for moving the movable foundation relative to the third inner frame in the X direction.
