IntroductionIn most advanced manufacturing processes, two-dimensional motions are in high demand for industrial applications such as parts assembly, component insertion, machining, etc. A traditional X-Y table often utilizes a rotary motor and couples its ou

The X-Y table based on direct-drive idea can be constructed according to different motor methodologies such as a pair of linear direct current motors (LDCM), linear induction motors (LIM), linear permanent magnetic motors (LPMM) or linear switched reluctance motors

The principle of the LIM is similar to a common rotary induction motor with a robust structure. Though linear motion of high speed or high-precision is difficult to achieve due to the low air ga

Due to the characteristics of the permanent magnets, a LPMM is not suitable under hostile environment that h

The stator utilizes 0.5mm thick silicon-steel plates with tooth structure instead of any expensive materials such as rare-earth permanent magnets. A pair of aluminum locking bars is fixed on the stator base slot to hold the pl
