Claim 16:
17. A thermal processing chamber, comprising:
a susceptor within the processing chamber; and
a stem assembly coupled to the susceptor, the stem assembly comprising:
a stem coupled to the susceptor;
a motion assembly adapted to move a housing in an X axis, a Y axis, and position the susceptor angularly relative to an X-Y plane of the processing chamber, the motion assembly, comprising:
a pivot mechanism coupled to the processing chamber, the pivot mechanism having a hole, the stem disposed through the hole of the pivot mechanism, the hole sized to accommodate radial movement of the stem within the hole;
a vertical actuator coupled to the stem;
a rotary actuator disposed in the housing coupled to the stem;
a first flexible seal coupled between the pivot mechanism and a bracket of the vertical actuator; and
a second flexible seal coupled to the bracket and a base plate of the rotary actuator,

wherein the pivot mechanism is configured to provide angular movement of the motion assembly relative to the processing chamber.
