TRANSPORT SYSTEM, FILM FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ARTICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323265 titled 'TRANSPORT SYSTEM, FILM FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ARTICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a transport system that uses magnets and coils to move objects.

  • The system includes a first member with magnets arranged on its top face and a second member with coils arranged to face the magnets.
  • The second member can move in the same direction as the first member.
  • A control unit is used to move either the first or second member in this direction.
  • The members are designed to float in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction.
  • The floating occurs at a height position higher than the equilibrium position where magnetic attraction and gravitational forces balance.
  • The purpose of this system is to provide a simplified and efficient method of transportation.


Original Abstract Submitted

A transport system includes a first member including a top face and a plurality of magnets arranged on the top face along a first direction, a second member including a plurality of coils arranged along the first direction to face to the plurality of magnets and movable in the first direction relative to the first member, and a control unit that moves one of the first member and the second member in the first direction while a gravitational force acts on the one of the first and second member and the one of the first member and the second member is floating in a second direction crossing the first direction at a height position higher than an equilibrium position where magnetic attraction force acting between the plurality of magnets and the plurality of coils balances with the gravitational force acting on the one of the first and second member.
