Abstract
A uni-directional tilt mechanism for supporting a robotic arm mechanism or other structures includes a simplified system of two motors for tilting a support platform in one dimension. The uni-directional tilt platforms according to the invention may be stacked to provide a universally tiltable stacked platform system for supporting a robotic arm mechanism. The multi-directional tilt stacked platform system can be used to align a Z-axis of a transferred substrate with cassettes or workstations in which substrate is to be placed by the robot.
