    摘要: A method for positioning an object by an electromagnetic motor which, in use, produces a plurality of primary forces and a pitch torque associated with the primary forces. The method includes a cycle which includes: determining the desired forces and torques for positioning the object, determining the primary forces to be generated by the motor, determine the pitch torque from either the primary forces or from the desired forces and torques, determine the desired signals for the motor to generate the primary forces. In a next cycle, prior to the determination of the primary forces, the desired forces and torques for positioning the object are modified using the pitch torque determined in the previous cycle of steps.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus is presented that includes a controller having a series connection of at least two integrators and an integrator output circuit for deriving an output quantity of the series connection of integrators. The controller also includes an integrator saturator that is operatively coupled to the integrator output circuit and having an operating area for passing through the output quantity and a saturation area for saturating the output quantity. A saturation control mechanism for controlling saturation sets an output quantity of at least one of the series-connected integrators to a neutral value, when the integrator saturator is in the saturation area, except when the output quantity of or an input quantity of at least one of the series-connected integrators has a value such that it would tend to bring the integrator saturator from the saturation area to the operating area.

    摘要: A piezo actuator system, is presented herein. A piezo actuator system comprises a number of piezo actuators which may lengthen and shear. Using the lengthening and shearing, the piezo actuator system grips and moves an object in response to a first and a second control signal, respectively. The possible displacement of the object is limited by the maximum shear of the piezo actuators. To increase the possible displacement, the piezo actuators may be controlled to perform a linear shear sequence or a shuffle sequence. During the linear shear sequence, the object is moved; during the shuffle sequence the object is substantially stationary, while the piezo actuators are repositioned with respect to the object, after which the object may be moved further using the linear shear sequence.
