The first table board 1 bears the workpiece and moves to the optical mechanism 3 through the first alignment detection mechanism 4 to perform exposure operation, and the second table board 2 bears the workpiece and moves to the optical mechanism 3 through the second alignment detection mechanism 5 to perform exposure operation. The position detection means 6 corresponding to the first table top 1 are arranged to detect the position of said first table top 1 and the position detection means 7 corresponding to the second table top 2 are arranged to detect the position of said second table top 2.

In the double-table exposure system, the station ranges corresponding to the first alignment detection mechanism 4, the second alignment detection mechanism 5 and the optical mechanism 3 are the ranges which can be covered by the two tables and are not overlapped with each other, that is, the distance between the first alignment detection mechanism 4 and the optical mechanism 3 is the distance between the two tables, and the distance between the second alignment detection mechanism 5 and the optical mechanism 3 is the same as the distance between the two tables. When one of the table tops is used for carrying out alignment and height detection, the other table top can carry out exposure operation in a station area of the optical mechanism, and the two table tops are not interfered with each other and are synchronously carried out.
The extension of the alignment detection station and the exposure station leads to the lengthening of the measurement stroke of the position detection mechanism for detecting the positions of the first table top and the second table top, while the length of the conventional grating ruler hard ruler can not meet the stroke of the first table top and the second table top in the double-table top exposure system, if the grating ruler soft ruler can have a longer stroke, but the expansion coefficient of the grating ruler soft ruler is easily affected by the temperature, so that the measurement result has larger fluctuation, and the precision can not be ensured; the interferometer for measuring the position, although able to meet the precision requirements, is expensive and inconvenient to use and maintain.
