Planar Motor utilizes maglev robots to build manufacturing systems. These robots move on modular surfaces with 6 degrees of freedom, allowing translation and rotation across X, Y, and Z axes. The post notes that because this approach has no moving parts contacting the surface, it requires no lubrication and prevents contamination, making it ideal for industries with strict cleanliness requirements like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
