6D planar motion stages, phase 1

随着装配线、生产和实验室工作不断实现自动化，以降低成本和提高效率，全球数百家公司正在安装机器人和复杂的设备来实现自动化流程。这些过程中的许多过程涉及将对象（例如工具、组件或流体）从一个位置移动到另一个位置。我们的机会是为电子和医疗设备、制造业和生命科学市场创造世界上最好的高分辨率、6D运动平台。基于我们获得专利的平面电机技术（该技术的视频可访问：http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=-r4 Tv 7 GbB 8 o），我们建议开发一个功能齐全的平面运动系统，具有两个并行工作阶段，用于工业自动化应用。该技术具有高速、高加速度、6自由度运动控制、零摩擦、真空兼容性和低成本的能力，可为制造高附加值产品（如半导体、药品、医疗器械和光纤）的广泛市场提供显著的生产率、质量和灵活性优势。

As assembly lines, production, and laboratory work is relentlessly automated in a continuous drive for lower cost and higher efficiency, hundreds of companies around the world are installing robotic and complex equipment to automate processes. Many of these processes involve moving an object, such as a tool, component, or a fluid, from one location to another. Our opportunity is to create the world's best high resolution, 6D motion stage for the electronics and medical devices, manufacturing, and life sciences markets. Based on our patented planar motor technology (a video for this technology can be accessed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r4Tv7GbB8o), we propose to develop a fully functional planar motion system with two concurrently working stages for industrial automation applications. Capable of high speed, high acceleration, 6 degree-of-freedom motion control, zero friction, vacuum compatibility, and at low cost, this technology can provide significant productivity, quality, and flexibility benefits to a wide range of markets for manufacturing high value-added products, such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and fiber optics.
