Abstract:
A positioning device comprising an object table and a positioning module configured to position the object table. The positioning module comprises a first positioning module member configured to hold the object table, a second positioning module member configured to support the first positioning module member, and a support frame configured to support the second positioning module member. The positioning module also includes one or more actuators, a position measurement system configured to measure a position of the object table, and a control unit configured to control a position of the object table based on the measured position of the object table. The control unit is further configured to control a vertical position of the second position module member so as to maintain a top surface of the second positioning module member substantially parallel to a bottom surface of the first positioning module member.

Claim (Index 1):
A positioning device configured to position an object, the positioning device comprising:\n an object table configured to hold the object; a positioning module configured to position the object table, the positioning module comprising:\n a first positioning module member configured to hold the object table; \n a second positioning module member configured to support the first positioning module member and to co-operate with the first positioning module member to generate a first force; \n a support frame configured to support the second positioning module member; at least one actuator configured to displace the second positioning module member in a vertical direction relative to the support frame; a position measurement system configured to measure a position of the object table with respect to a reference frame; and a control unit configured to control a position of the object table by providing an object table control signal to the positioning module to generate the first force, based on the measured position of the object table and a set point for the object table; wherein the control unit is further configured to control a vertical position of the second position module member by providing an actuator control signal to the at least one actuator, so as to maintain a top surface of the second positioning module member substantially parallel to a bottom surface of the first positioning module member.
