A rigid mechanical configuration

Structural configuration:

  • Box-like structure, good rigidity
  • Bending compliance primarily on the z axis
  • Low z axis stiffness is acceptable
  • Result: tolerates low-modulus materials

Stepper motor configuration:

  • Configuration allows large actuator arrays
  • Large arrays enable stiff motor interfaces
  • Large arrays tolerate stochastic actuators

Motion and clearances:

  • Workspace comparable to device width
  • Open z-axis position allows product exit

Nominal scale: ~50–100 nm
