The goal of this project is to investigate a concept for increasing the transfer speed for parts, tooling, raw material, etc. in manufacturing systems by more than an order of magnitude. The basis of the high speed transfer is a continuous, closed structural loop transfer system with a number of high-speed, direct-drive, linear induction motor (LIM) transfer vehicles which continuously circulate in a guideway. The vehicles would accelerate at up to 4 g and travel at speeds of 60 to 120 Km/hr, compared to the 1 to 8 manufacturing processing equipment via access ports which use direct, non-contact, electromagnetic steering to divert vehicles from the loop. The investigation includes a demonstration of feasibility for a limited scale transfer system. The impact of the transfer system concept on factory layout, production scheduling, and production costs would be significant. Furthermore, the results will be directly applicable in future research and development in the area of high-performance electromagnetic actuators for manufacturing and robotics. It will also advance the state of the art of high-performance control of extremely highly distributed actuators and systems.

该项目的目标是研究一种将制造系统中的部件、工装、原材料等的传输速度提高一个数量级以上的概念。高速传输的基础是一个连续、闭合的结构环路传输系统，该系统具有多个高速、直接驱动、直线感应电机(LIM)传输车辆，这些车辆在导轨上连续循环。车辆将以高达4g的速度加速，并以60至120公里/小时的速度行驶，相比之下，1至8个制造加工设备通过接入端口使用直接、非接触、电磁转向来使车辆偏离回路。调查包括对有限规模转移系统的可行性进行论证。转移系统概念对工厂布局、生产调度和生产成本的影响将是巨大的。此外，研究结果将直接应用于未来制造业和机器人领域的高性能电磁执行器的研究和开发。它还将推动极高分布式执行器和系统的高性能控制技术的发展。
