Efficiency is a core focus in modern manufacturing. As smart manufacturing technologies advance, traditional conveyor systems reveal their limitations—poor efficiency, high maintenance costs, and a lack of flexibility. To stay competitive, manufacturers need an intelligent solution that promotes efficiency, stability, and flexibility. Magnetic levitation (maglev) conveyor systems are emerging as the key innovation, transforming smart manufacturing by overcoming these limitations.

Understanding Maglev Conveyor Systems

Maglev conveyor systems employ the principle of long stator linear motor, electromagnetically driving the mover along the track by controlling the magnetic field of the coils. This setup addresses common challenges like wear and tear, complex maintenance, and rigidity in traditional conveyors. As a result, maglev systems are being adopted across various automated production lines such as new energy battery assembly, sterile filling, consumer electronics, semiconductor production, and heavy-duty automotive assembly.

FTS: Harnessing Maglev Technology for
Smart, Flexible Solutions

Building on the advantages of maglev technology, FHS Group has developed the Flexible Transport System (FTS), which integrates magnetic driving technologies into a highly adaptable, intelligent conveyor system. Designed to deliver the precision and efficiency that maglev offers, the FTS provides smart, flexible solutions for a wide range of industries. With our extensive experience in new energy, medical, and automotive automation, we’ve engineered the FTS to meet the diverse demands of modern manufacturing with maximum flexibility and cost-efficiency. The product lineup includes the FTS High Thrust Series (FTS-HT), Medium Thrust Series (FTS-MT), and Light Thrust Diverge Series (FTS-LT), each tailored to specific industry requirements.

Modularization for Adaptive Production

Precision and Performance: Removing Bottlenecks

Equipped with advanced position sensors and sophisticated maglev control algorithms, the FTS system offers exceptional performance. For instance, FTS-MT can achieve speeds over 5 m/s, with a maximum acceleration of 10G and repetitive positioning accuracy of ±10 μm. This level of precision boosts throughput and stability across the production line, effectively addressing potential bottlenecks.

The system also features real-time defect detection. Defective products can be directly sent to the unloading station once detected. This can promote the production efficiency while saving the production cost.

The integration of mover ID technology further enhances operational efficiency by enabling instant synchronization with external controls, allowing production to start as soon as the system powers up. Compared to RFID solutions, no mover running cycle is required for ID recognition before production.

Additionally, copper coils are utilized to generate a stronger magnetic field and greater thrust. Compared to systems with printed circuit board (PCB) coils, the copper coil design offers the motor higher power density and less heat generation.

Leveraging Digital Simulation for Smarter Manufacturing

As manufacturing processes become more complex, predicting system performance before installation is essential. The FTS system includes a 3D digital simulation tool that allows users to visualize the system’s operation in real time. This feature provides valuable data to fine-tune and optimize production setups, improving design accuracy and operational efficiency.

The FTS system also supports parallel debugging with multi-terminal, which makes the commissioning on a long transport line more convenient, and greatly reduces equipment integration time. Ensuring dual safety through reliable software control permissions and robust mechanical limits.

Certified Excellence and Proven Quality

The FTS system has undergone more than 300 certification tests by TÜV SÜD, a globally recognized technical service provider, confirming its adherence to international safety, reliability, and quality standards.

Recently, a new batch of FTS systems was delivered to customers, who have praised their high quality, efficiency, and stability, further demonstrating FHS Group’s commitment to delivering excellence.
