RM MagiFloater
From May 29th to 31st, the annual robotics industry event — ”2024 the 14th China International Robot Summit Forum and the 10th Capek Award Ceremony” — was successfully held in Wuhu, China.
At the dazzling 10th Capek Award Ceremony, the revolutionary product MagiFloater (RM-MFT), launched by RobustMotion, was honored with“Capek Innovative Product of the Year Award”,It demonstrates the RobustMotion's strong innovation and technical capabilities once again!
The Capek Prize, known as the“Nobel Prize ” of the robotics industryis the most important and prestigious award in China's robotics fields, with great influence and credibility in the industry.In the thriving sector of robotics, where excellent products are continuously emerging, the honor bestowed upon RobustMotion is not only an endorsement of our innovative capabilities by industry experts, but also an acknowledgment of the significant influence the MagiFloater is expected to exert in the realm of industrial automation.
Industrial automation has seen significant development, with production lines now being highly mature. However, the complexity of these designs has not only placed a substantial financial burden on companies in terms of equipment investment, but also greatly increased the difficulty of updating production lines and improving processes. How to reduce costs and increase efficiency, enhance the flexibility of corporate production lines, and truly achieve flexible manufacturing has been a persistent challenge that RobustMotion has been contemplating and striving to overcome through continuous technological innovation since the inception.
From the pioneering release of domestic integrated drive and control technology to the easy-to-use, highly integrated all-in-one electric actuator, and then to the strong launch of the SoftForce® SoftForce®High Precision Force Control Electric Actuatorsthat leads the China's precision force control technology with advanced control algorithms, RobustMotion has never stopped on the path of subversion and innovation.
In 2023, RobustMotion officially launched the RM MagiFloater, which has been developed for five years, bringing a breakthrough solution to the industry.The RM-MFT not only overcame the efficiency and accuracy limitations of traditional conveying systems but also achieved high-speed, flexible material handling with its innovative magnetic levitation drive technology, reducing maintenance costs and energy consumption, and providing high-precision positioning. It effectively solved the limitations of traditional conveying systems and promoted industrial automation toward a more efficient, flexible, intelligent, and standardized intelligent manufacturing direction.
The RM MagiFloater is a product based on magnetic levitation planar motor technology, which directly uses electromagnetic energy to drive planar motion, abandoning the complex motion conversion process in traditional machinery.
RM MagiFloaterThe RM MagiFloater has a full range of motion capabilities from 1D to 6D, with a suspension height of 0-10mm and a positional accuracy of ±0.005mm.Its minimalist mechanical structure simplifies the module structure of production lines or equipment itself, making the efficiency of production and application higher. The non-contact motion technology reduces the dust generated by friction of mechanical parts, making it more suitable for clean production requirements. The modular design concept allows the system to be combined according to different production and application needs, providing infinite layout possibilities and high flexibility.
Continuing the technological advantages of native support by RobustMotion in industrial Ethernet and bus communication protocol stacks, the RM MagiFloater supports high-speed industrial communication methods including EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, CANopen, and CC-link, which provides great convenience for system integration and remote monitoring.
It is worth mentioning that the RM MagiFloater also comes with an accurate force control algorithm that can detect, feedback, and control the current output force and the force being applied. This brings a better precision to the precision assembly and precision inspection of the workpiece. Unlike flat motor products that focus on rapid transportation,RM MagiFloaterthe RM MagiFloater is more applied to precision positioning and motion control, such as semiconductor manufacturing, biomedical equipment, precision measurement instruments, and other situations that require high precision and rapid response.
As of now, only one or two foreign companies worldwide have such magnetic levitation control technology. RobustMotion's MagiFloater not only represents a technological breakthrough in this field in China but also marks a solid step for domestic enterprises in the field of precision automation equipment manufacturing. It will bring unprecedented flexibility and precision to high-end manufacturing fields such as precision manufacturing, semiconductor processing, and biomedical, bringing revolutionary changes to industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing.
