Abstract

The invention provides a system for controlling an active vibration isolation device, wherein a split-type designed air gravity compensator and a voice coil motor are adopted and the air gravity compensator is used for supporting the gravity of a micropositioner to ensure that the voice coil motor is only used for providing a positioning function for the micropositioner and providing a driving force to generate acceleration to realize the ascending motion of the micropositioner. By utilizing the control system design, the dissipated power of a conventional voice coil motor, caused by resisting the gravity of the micropositioner, is greatly reduced; the calorific value of the voice coil motor is decreased to a great extent; in the mean time, as the voice coil motor is only used for providing the positioning function and the ascending motion for the micropositioner, the positioning accuracy of the micropositioner is improved to a certain degree.
