Abstract
A device for positioning a processing tool: a processing tool for processing the to-be-processed workpiece's surface while pressing the surface to be processed; a movement mechanism able to displace processing tool's distal end in a first direction orthogonal to the surface to be processed and/or a second direction parallel with the surface to be processed; a force sensor able to detect a force in the first and second direction applied to the processing tool's distal end pressed onto the surface to be processed; and a control device for executing a correction step for controlling the movement mechanism so the surface to be processed is pressed while the distal end's position of the processing tool is aligned with a processing reference position on the surface to be processed, and correcting the processing tool's position so that the force in the second direction is within a specific value or less.
