“…8 is controlled in all six motion degrees-of-freedom (DOF) (i.e., three rotations and three translations), where gravity compensators enable contactless operation. The maximum displacement in the translational DOFs (x, y, and z) is equal to 0.5 mm, while the range in the rotational DOFs (R x , R y , and R z ) is given by 1 mrad, see Ronde, Schneiders, Kikken, van de Molengraft, and Steinbuch (2014). The positioning stage is actuated by six Lorentz motors.…”
