Maglev motion meets the laser.
We integrate Planar Motor's magnetically levitated XBots into custom machines, with laser processing, robotics and vision at every station.
Run a maglev laser cell.
A robot arm loads each XBot, the laser processes the part, vision checks it, and a second arm unloads it. Add movers or speed it up and watch the flow rebalance.

XBots position each part in six degrees of freedom while they move, so the laser, camera or robot sees it exactly where it expects. No belts to stretch, no fixtures to swap, nothing touching the part.
- Precise positioning under the laser head, then on to the next station
- Tilt, rotate and lift parts for multi-face processing
- No lubrication and no particles, suited to medical and battery work
- Reroute the process in software when the product changes
The complete machine around the motion.
Planar Motor supplies the motion platform. We design and build everything else and hand you a working, certified cell.
- Laser marking, cutting, welding and micro-machining stations
- Robot load and unload, vision inspection and dispensing
- Custom nests and tooling machined in-house
- Controls, safety and integration with your line
