  • Page 35: Function Description

    Function description Function of components Components in the multi-carrier system Multi-carrier systems are modular transport systems with multiple workpiece holders based on linear motors. A transport path consists of consecutively arranged motor plates with copper windings. The workpiece holders (carriers) move on the transport path. The carrier housings include a secondary section that contains permanent magnets and a measuring magnet.
  • Page 36 Function description 5.1 Function of components Function description To move the carriers, the primary sections are fed with current from various Motor Modules. Multiple carriers can be traversed open- or closed-loop controlled on the transport path comprising many primary sections. Each carrier is is individually moved and can be freely positioned, accelerated, decelerated and synchronized to individual process steps of the application by the associated closed-loop control.
