MagneMover LITE Overview
The MagneMover LITE (MM LITE) is an intelligent transport system specifically developed
for fast, precise movement, positioning, and tracking of small, light loads in a transport sys-
tem. The MM LITE transport system is a configuration of linear synchronous motors and
related control electronics that move small independently commanded material carriers (vehi-
cles/pucks) in a controlled manner at various acceleration/deceleration and velocity profiles
while carrying a wide range of payloads with high precision. The MM LITE transport system
consists of the following components:
• MagneMover LITE motors.
• Vehicles (pucks) with Magnet Arrays.
• Node Controllers.
• Power Supplies.
• Paths and Nodes.
• User-supplied Host Controller.
• Optional user-designed and supplied guideway and track system.
Using MagneMotion’s proven linear synchronous motor (LSM) and control technology, Mag-
neMover LITE transport systems offer a superior alternative to conventional belt and chain
conveyors for OEM/in-machine applications and for demanding product conveyance require-
ments.
• MagneMover LITE provides repeatable positioning with no hard stops required, bidi-
rectional travel, smooth motion, and continuous vehicle (puck) tracking and reporting.
• Motor, drive, controller, positioning, and guidance built into the motor.
• Servo repeatability at any position: ± 0.5 mm [0.02 in] (straight motors only,
not applicable over the gaps between motors).
• Servo repeatability at process stations: ± 0.1 mm [0.004 in] (straight motors
only, does not include the gap between motors, calibrated vehicles (pucks)
required, may require physical attachment of the motor to the process station).
• Vehicles (pucks) are controlled individually allowing the Host Controller to
prioritize the routing of individual vehicles over different Paths.
• Motion is provided through the use of small pre-configured vehicles (pucks) or
user-designed vehicles with magnet arrays attached to the surface closest to the motor.
• Up to nine (9) 62 mm vehicles (pucks) in motion
1
per meter with speeds to
2 m/s [4.5 mph], accelerations to 2 m/s
2
[0.2
g
].
• Up to ten (10) 62 mm vehicles (pucks) in a queue
1
per meter standard, up to
twelve (12) vehicles in queue per meter depending upon application.
• Payloads up to 1 kilogram (2 kilograms with tandem puck).
1. Maximum number of vehicles (pucks) per meter is determined using the standard single array puck on a straight
motor. Using a dual array (tandem) vehicle or a curved motor will decrease the number of vehicles allowed per meter.
