摘要
A cordless linear synchronous motor (LSM) material handling system for CIM has been developed. The system incorporates a courier that moves without tether restrictions. This provides for an automated material handling system with improved travel and flexibility. The material handling system runs on an integrated reverse air bearing system which eliminates friction and backlash. The proposed system forms part of a manufacturing assembly, interacting with overhead manipulators and part feeders to form a comprehensive production system. The design and implementation of the cordless linear motor material handling system (MHS) is outlined and described in the paper. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
