  • Patent number: 8514371
    Abstract: An imaging device in a projection exposure machine for microlithography has at least one optical element and at least one manipulator, having a linear drive, for manipulating the position of the optical element. The linear drive has a driven subregion and a nondriven subregion, which are movable relative to one another in the direction of a movement axis. The subregions are interconnected at least temporarily via functional elements with an active axis and via functional elements with an active direction at least approximately parallel to the movement axis.

  • Publication number: 20090141258
    Abstract: An imaging device in a projection exposure machine for microlithography includes at least one optical element and at least one manipulator, a linear drive for manipulating the position of the optical element. The linear drive has at least one moving element, the moving element having a shearing part and a lifting part. The shearing part is arranged to move the optical element and the lifting part is arranged to move the shearing part. The linear drive has a supporting element which is in contact with and prevents movement of the optical element while the shearing part is moved by the lifting part.
