The coil may be fixed to the housing and the yoke may be fixed to the slider. The bonding actuator may perform bonding while adjusting a relative position and parallelism of a chip and a wafer, by driving the slider in six axial directions, which include the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, the Z-axis direction, a Tx direction, a Ty direction, and a Tz direction.
