Material Handling

Design for Industry

The XTS movers contain magnetic

plates that, together with the coils in

the motor modules, generate propulsive

forces. Movers absorb the attractive

forces of the magnets on both sides and

compensate for them. As a result, the

rollers, composed of particularly low-

wear plastic, can move at high speeds

with acceleration greater than 100 m/

s2. A mechanically robust encoder flag

communicates mover position to the

motor modules.

The system is well-suited to high-

speed material handling:

-^ optimize irregular product flows to
constant intervals and speeds
-^ clamp and move products
-^ pick up, transport and discharge
products
-^ manipulate products: lift out, close,
rotate, screw on caps
-^ process products one at a time or in
parallel in groups
-^ integrate with robotics in real-time
