Planar motors redefine intelligent production lines for smart manufacturing, with unprecedented flexibility, reliability, agility, and efficiency to meet your dynamic market needs. ​A planar motor  system is composed of one or more movers (XBOTs) and a stationary surface made of modular tiles (Flyway). Each XBOT is independently controlled and suspended on Flyways with 6 degrees-of-freedom motion capability. The system does not require any lubrication nor generates any contamination. It is ideal for applications requiring high cleanliness such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical manufacturing as well as industries with harsh environments such as those that require water and dust proofing. The Flyways are made from identical modular tiles and are fully extendable and reconfigurable.  Thanks to the versatile motion of XBOTs, many traditionally needed robot arms can be eliminated.
