Conveyor system for small electrical components or modules - has workpieces in mountings which form rotor elements for linear reluctance motors whose stators are on conveyor belt
摘要
<p>A conveyor system with mountings (2) for small workpieces has a main belt (6) with a linear reluctance motor drive to position each mounting on the belt. The drive is formed by a stator element on the belt and a rotor element on the mounting. There are several magnetic poles with windings for each drive. There is a sensor working with markings on the mounting. The rotor element comprises a grid of ferromagnetic or soft magnetic material. There may be several stator elements aligned in the transport direction.</p>
