The Planar Motor System
A Planar Motor system is composed of movable XBots (movers) and a stationary surface of modular Flyways (stators). Each XBot is independently controlled and magnetically levitated with 6 degrees-of-freedom.
The system does not require any lubrication nor generate any contamination. It is ideal for applications requiring high cleanliness such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical manufacturing as well as industries with harsh environments such as those that require water and dust proofing.
Flyways are identical modular tiles and are fully extendable and reconfigurable. Thanks to the versatile motion of XBots, many traditionally needed robot arms can be eliminated.
Planar Motor systems redefine intelligent production lines for smart manufacturing, with unprecedented flexibility, reliability, agility, and efficiency to meet your dynamic market needs.
Hygienic XBots
Fully enclosed in 316-L stainless steel making them aseptic and washable
