Abstract:
A two-dimensional moving system for moving a table in a plane comprising:a table; a guide mechanism for guiding the table to be movable in the plane; a first and second belt means which are connected to the table so as to intersect to each other at substantially right angles; a first driving mechanism for driving the first belt means so as to move the table in a longitudinal direction of the first belt means and to allow the first belt means to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the second belt means; and a second driving mechanism for driving the second belt means so as to move the table in a longitudinal direction of the second belt means and to allow the second belt means to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the first belt means, wherein mechanical force for driving the first and second belt means is provided by motors, and wherein movement of the table does not require translational movement of the motors.
