Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to position a table accurately by providing a fine moving mechanism including a piezoelectric element at the end section of a drive shaft, letting the piezoelectric element be deformed in the axial direction, and thereby moving the shaft itself to the axial direction. CONSTITUTION:When a feed screw 2 is rotated by a pulse motor 3 via a flexble connector 12 so as to let a supporting member 5 be accordingly moved to the direction indicated by an arrow head B, a table 6 provided for the supporting member 5 is moved to the direction indicated by the arrow head B. In this case, there may happen a case wherein the table 6 will not stop over a target point to be positioned, voltage is thereby applied to a piezoelectric element 14 which is a part of a fine moving mechanism 13 provided for the end section of a feed screw 2 so that the piezoelectric element 14 is deformed in the axial direction, then, the feed screw 2 itself is resultantly moved to the direction indicated by an arrow head C via a steel ball 15 so as to let the table 6 be accordingly moved to the target point.
