Abstract
An XY drive apparatus is described that is thin and enables the performing of both high-precision and high-speed work. The above advantages are achieved by using flat linear electromagnetic actuators for the driving source that perform high-speed work. In addition, these linear electromagnetic actuators are arranged on both sides of the apparatus, thereby preventing deviations in operation between both sides to achieve highly accurate positioning.
