Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH02501347
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A linear motor (60) comprised of a plurality of primary coils (220) arranged and spaced sequentially. A fluid intake manifold (205) and a fluid exhaust manifold (215) with at least one conduit (210) in fluid communication between the intake and exhaust manifolds, such that the fluid intake manifold, fluid exhaust manifold and conduit are associated with the primary coils to control the temperature of the motor. A robotically controlled linear motor apparatus (10) for manipulating physical arms in one or more dimensions, with at least one linear motor (60) comprised of primary coils (220) sequentially and spacially arranged and a secondary coil (235) positioned magnetically adjacent to the primary coils. A fluid circulating manifold as described above. A commutator (240) for selectively energizing the primary and secondary coils to create a magnetic imbalance therebetween so that the secondary coil is urged in a direction opposite to that of the flux imbalance. A first arm is fixed to one of the secondary coils and a second arm is fixed to the primary coils so that when a secondary coil moves, the first arm moves in reference to the second physical arm. A control for manipulating the first physical arm in one or more dimensions by selectively energizing the commutator to energize the linear motor causing the secondary coil and attached physical arm to move in relation thereto.
