  • Patent number: 10532891
    Abstract: For a flexibly configurable and easily expandable transport route of a long stator linear motor with transport route modules, it is provided that, in a two-sided route section with a transport route module on both sides, an intermediate space is provided between two transport route modules in transverse direction, and the transport unit is arranged at least partially in this intermediate space. In this way, a movement path is formed midway of this intermediate space in transverse direction that the transport unit follows during movement in longitudinal direction by the guidance on the transport route modules, and the movement path is arranged by the arrangement of the transport route module in transverse direction at a distance of (r·a) from the starting point and ending point, where r is an odd, whole number.

  • Patent number: 10118775
    Abstract: Modular transport line system for configuring a transport line of a long stator linear motor. The system includes plural modular transport line components, each having a starting point (An) and an end point (En), wherein the starting point (An) and the end point (En) of each modular transport line component lie on a raster corner point (p·a)×(q·a) of an (a×a) raster with a prespecified raster length a, wherein p, q are whole numbers. At least one of the plural modular transport line components is a curved transport line component formed by at least three modules.

  • Publication number: 20170320683
    Abstract: To make it possible to realize various transport lines of a long stator linear motor using a small number of different types of transport line components (TMn), in a simple and flexible manner, a modular system with transport line components (TMn) is provided, wherein a selection of at least two different transport line components (TMn) is included in the modular system, wherein the starting point (An) and the end point (En) of each of the at least two different transport line components (TMn) each lie on a raster corner point (p·a)×(q·a) of an (a×a) raster with a prespecified raster length a, wherein p, q are whole numbers.
