Summary:Thin steel plates are widely used in various industrial products. However, because of the deterioration of surface quality and metal plating that occurs during transport, some problems exist. As a solution to these problems, a noncontact transport of steel plate using electromagnetic force has been proposed. However, side slip or the dropping of the plate may occur. Therefore, we proposed the addition of electromagnetic actuators to control the horizontal motion of levitated steel plates. In this study, we examined the change in the levitation stability during noncontact transport with the addition of positioning control in the horizontal direction or changed transport conditions. As a result, the application of a magnetic field in the horizontal direction improved the levitation stability of transported thin steel plates in different transport conditions.
