Planar Motor Inc.

Marketed as a “smart conveying system,” Planar Motor conveying and handling systems comprise mobile XBots (movers) and a static surface of modular Flyways (stators). Each XBot possesses independent control and magnetic levitation across 6 degrees-of-freedom. This system operates without the need for lubrication, ensuring a contamination-free environment. Particularly suitable for applications demanding high cleanliness like food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, as well as industries with harsh conditions requiring water and dust proofing. The Flyways, consisting of identical modular tiles, are fully extendable and reconfigurable. The versatile motion of Xbots enables the elimination of traditionally required robot arms, redefining intelligent production lines in smart manufacturing for unparalleled flexibility, reliability, agility, and efficiency to meet dynamic market needs.
