Introduction to Magnetic Levitation at SEYMOUR Advanced Technologies

At SEYMOUR, we understand that specific manufacturing processes demand the highest levels of precision and control. This understanding drives our development and integration of advanced technologies like magnetic levitation. Our team of experienced engineers leverages decades of experience in design, manufacturing, and automation to create custom solutions that address the most complex challenges. We don't just implement technology; we engineer solutions that provide a "competition diminishing" toolbox for our clients

Ultra-High Precision:

Magnetic levitation eliminates physical contact, enabling extremely precise and repeatable movements. This is crucial for delicate processes like thermal sealing of sensitive components.

Reduced Friction and Wear:

By suspending components on a magnetic field, friction and mechanical wear are minimized, leading to longer system life and reduced maintenance.

Increased Speed and Throughput:

The lack of physical contact allows for faster and smoother movements, potentially increasing production speeds.

Enhanced Cleanliness:

With no direct contact, the risk of contamination is significantly reduced, making it ideal for cleanroom environments, particularly in the Medical & Life Sciences industry.

Maximize your manufacturing efficiency. SEYMOUR Advanced Technologies provides custom automation that guarantees accuracy, traceability, and compliance.

Improved Flexibility:

Magnetic levitation systems can offer greater flexibility in motion paths and configurations compared to traditional mechanical systems.

Our Precision Magnetic Levitation Thermo Sealer System exemplifies the power of this advanced technology. 

The need for extremely precise and consistent sealing of delicate or sensitive components, where even slight variations can lead to defects or compromised product integrity.

Requirements for high throughput without sacrificing accuracy, often seen in demanding manufacturing environments.

• Situations where minimizing contamination is critical, such as in the Medical & Life Sciences field for sealing medical devices or pharmaceutical packaging.

Precise Positioning: Utilizing magnetic levitation, the system ensures the sealing head is positioned with micron-level accuracy5 over the components to be sealed.

Controlled Sealing Force and Temperature: Integrated sensors and controls allow for precise regulation of the force and temperature applied during the thermal sealing process, ensuring optimal and consistent seals every time.

Non-Contact Handling: Magnetic levitation can also be employed for the transport and handling of the components themselves, further minimizing the risk of damage or contamination.

Integration with Vision Systems: The system can be integrated with our advanced Vision and Camera Systems with up to 0.25 micron resolution5 for pre-seal inspection, precise alignment, and post-seal quality verification.

Data Logging and Traceability: Comprehensive data on the sealing process (e.g., position, force, temperature, time) can be logged for quality control and regulatory compliance, crucial in industries like Medical & Life Sciences
