FLEXIBLE MULTIDIMENSIONAL MANUFACTURING
Optimized Transport for Adaptable Production
Production lines using Planar Motor are scalable and flexible, adapting easily to changing demand. Dynamic routing makes it possible to treat each product independently and optimize the use of equipment.
Products move freely without the typical constraints of fixed paths or large-radius turns. Transport and processing areas can be combined to minimize footprint.
XBots levitate above the surface of the Flyways resulting in zero particulate generation. Because there are no moving parts inside the system, it is maintenance-free.
Modular hardware and built-in libraries for all major control ecosystems reduce integration time, allowing production to start sooner.
Lines built around the Planar Motor system are more scalable and adaptable than conventional transport technologies. The simple integration can enable production to start sooner and the flexibility allows one line multiple to make multiple products.
No fixed paths — layout is defined in software, not hardware. Combine transport and processing in the same area to minimize your footprint.
XBots levitate above the surface of the Flyways so there is no wear or particulate generation.
Modular hardware and built-in libraries for major control systems reduce integration time. Fewer mechanical parts and cleaner wiring means production can start sooner
With tens of thousands of Flyways and XBots in use around the world, Planar Motor is enabling improved product transport across industries.
Lines built around the Planar Motor system are more scalable and adaptable than conventional transport technologies, making it easier to scale production or repurpose the line as the market shifts. The simple integration can enable production to start sooner and the flexibility can enable one line multiple to make multiple products.
Easily cleanable machines that reduce mechanical complexity, save space and provide flexibility to meet shifting market demands provide value to the food and beverage industry. Integrated weighing to +/- 1g accuracy and total motion flexibility make new machine designs possible.
Flexible transport allows for optimal utilization and layout of equipment while the precision motion of the Planar Motor system itself can replace otherwise needed motion devices and robots. Because of its modularity, the system is also readily adaptable to process updates unlike conventional transport solutions.
Plug-and-work integration gets labs moving plates and focused on the science sooner with Planar Motor. High-level Python and C# APIs automate routing, while control of height, pitch, roll, and yaw enables processes like pipetting and shaking to be done directly with the Planar Motor system.
Planar Motor provides transport solutions for semiconductor applications in both atmospheric and vacuum environments.
The Planar Motor system enables improved product traceability while simplified mechanics lead to shorter changeover time and reduced maintenance. The Hygienic product variant provides unparalleled cleanliness, making Planar Motor the ultimate transport system for sterile environments.
In cleanrooms where traditional motion components create contamination and space comes at a premium, Planar Motor is the ideal transport solution.
Shorter changeovers and the greater adaptability provided by the Planar Motor system provides Cosmetics manufacturers' with the ability to update product formats quickly and more significantly according to market demands. Independent control of each product enables new possibilities for high mix production.
