Maglev Microrobotics Laboratory studies on design and development of magnetically levitated (Maglev) robots. A magnetic Levitation setup enabling high precision 3D remote positioning was built. Our Maglev systems find applications in areas spanning various disciplines such as:
• Contactless micromanipulation and microrobotics
• Manipulation in hazardous environment
• Clean rooms applications
• Wind tunnel testing
• Wafer growth & wafer transportation
We are also working on the
development and industrialization of various applications of magnetism such
as Non Destructive Testing. Cracks and defects in live pipelines and steel
cores can be detected using magnetic field and eddy current. Please contact
us for more information.

Attention companies! |
| We have developed a high-tech system to automatically
measure magnetic field of a magnetic source in a 3D space and plot
it. Examples: 3D measurement of magnetic fields produced by various
shape/size permanent magnets or electromagnets, field measurement of
electromagnetic clutch, etc. we can also obtain the magnetic force analytically/FEM, and verify it experimentally for many cases. Please donot hesitate to contact us for furthure information.
