with an engineer
After a group of leading researchers at MIT led by Dr. Richard Thornton made a series of significant advances in LSM technology, it became evident that commercially viable solutions for a range of industrial and transportation applications could be developed. The result was the founding in 1996 of MagneMotion, Inc. For more than a decade MagneMotion’s team of engineers, software developers, and technicians have been advancing LSM technology and developing high-performance products to meet the ever-increasing requirements of our world-class customers.
MagneMotion holds patents and has special expertise in motor and magnet array design and fabrication; position sensing, communication, and control for linear synchronous motors; as well as propulsion, levitation, guidance and switching for maglev and wheel-based transport systems. MagneMotion's engineering team takes a needs-assessment and communicative approach to tailor solutions to industry-specific applications with the objective of streamlining productivity, increasing throughput, and improving efficiency for its customers, all while reducing the overall costs of operation. A unique differentiator in MagneMotion's technology offerings is our ability to provide transport system solutions of any length, speed, and thrust requirements, with no cables limiting the motion of the vehicle or moving frame.
MagneMotion's accomplishments include an urban maglev (magnetic levitation) demonstration system in cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration, an LSM-based heavy payload transport elevator for the US Navy, and numerous material handling and assembly automation projects with Fortune 500 companies in the consumer goods, solar panel, semi-conductor, pharmaceutical, automotive, medical devices and mining industries, among others.
