Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A feature of the magnetic levitation technology (maglev) is that the object can be fixed and moved in three-dimensional space without contact. Degradation of surface quality due to contact with rollers, which is a problem in steel plate production lines, can be solved by noncontact support and transportation by magnetic levitation. However, thin and strong steel materials, which are rapidly increasing in demand, undergo vibration in a complicated mode shape while levitating, and it is difficult to control levitation of the steel plate. Therefore, we propose a method to support and transport ultrathin flexible steel plate by grasping the edge part of the steel plate from the horizontal direction so as to "pull both ends of the cloth." From finite element method analysis and verification experiments it was shown that we can support and transport more flexible steel plate by using the proposed method.
