The Planar Motor System

A Planar Motor system is composed of moving XBots (movers) and a stationary surface built from modular Flyways (stators). Each XBot is independently controlled and magnetically levitated with 6 degrees-of-freedom. Planar Motor systems redefine intelligent production lines for smart manufacturing, with unprecedented flexibility, reliability, agility, and efficiency to meet your dynamic market needs.

The system does not require any lubrication nor generate any contamination. This makes it ideal for applications requiring high cleanliness such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical manufacturing as well as those requiring dust or waterproofing.
