Abstract
The transport system is one of the most important components to be chosen in the
design of an automatic machine. There is a wide variety of different choices that can be
made in picking this element, each one having its own strengths and its own drawbacks.
If it is desired to obtain some elaborate behaviour from the transport system, it is a
good idea to think about some flexible and advanced solutions. Among these transport
systems, the newest is the Beckhoff XPlanar. This transport system exploits magnetic
levitation to move some passive magnetic movers on a completely customizable plane, in
an entirely contact-free way. This provides a fast, clean, and noiseless motion, which is
extremely desirable in a modern automatic machine. The purpose of this Thesis is to
analyse the potentialities and the problems of this new device, starting from the basics.
After having presented in detail the topic, an analysis on the hardware components
needed to build this system is performed. Then, it is conducted a study on the concepts
needed to know how to build a controller having the purpose of dealing with this system.
After that, the various types of motion are studied and executed and, later on, some
experiments on the real kit are carried out. These studies start from the diagnostic and
involve other analyses that are used to test the limits of this transport system. In
performing these analyses, it is noticed how the kit presents some problems in reaching
the limits of the dynamics. Finally, two different types of station cycle are implemented,
which are useful to get a rough idea on the potentialities of this new advanced transport
system.
