Description
Summary:Most advances manufactoring processes require precise linear motion for several tasks as material transfer, packaging, assembly or electrical wiring. To achieve precise linear motion, most of the usual high-performance manufactoring machines use X-Y sliding tables with rotary motors and rotary - to - linear couplers. Though this method is the most widely used, it has disadvantages of low ccuracy, complex mechanical adjustments, hogh cost, and low reliability. This paper describes a novel modular construction which can be used to build up linear surface direct - driven motors for high performance motions in flexible manufactoring automation. The proposed motors have simple modular structure and they have no limitation on the travel distance. Simulated results of the linear and planar motion systems indicate that the motion systems has good accurancy.
