IIC 2018 Conference: Synchronous PM Linear Motors Applied to Laser Motion Systems

Plan to attend The IIC 2018 Conferences to gain deeper insights into new manufacturing technologies and ideas!

About the topic

Contemporary laser systems use picosecond (10-12) or femtosecond (10-15) lasers. One of the key components rendering such systems possible is the use of fast motion systems driven by NdFeB (neodymium/ iron/boron) permanent magnet linear motors. Such motors are capable of 20Gs to 30Gs acceleration and submicron accuracy. This presentation will give an overview of the development of NdFeB permanent magnet motors and how they rank with other types of linear motors (induction linear motors/SmCo linear motors/piezo motors).

Registration is now open, so check out the IMTS 2018 website for more information.
