In this article, a Cartisian coordinate nano positioning stage driven by stack-type piezoelectric actuator associated with elastic-plate mechanism is developed. Flexure hinge mechanism system design and analysis by ANSYS, as well as the feed-forward controller design to deal with the hysteresis effect and the feedback PID controller design associated with high-precision capacitive sensor are included. The developed nano positioning stage is able to achieve the condition of 20 nm in positing under the condition of 15μm in stoke.
