Floating planar mover simplifies
transportation of sensitive workpieces
XPlanar transports workpiece during plasma surface treatment process
Jochen Stichling, Head of Design at Plasmatreat:
“When it came to custom-programming mover travel
routes there was no real alternative to XPlanar.”

Plasmatreat GmbH, a Steinhagen, Germany, based manufacturer of plasma systems for high-efficiency
surface treatment and environment-friendly production processes, unveiled a new plasma treatment
unit at the K 2019 trade show. A key innovation with this treatment unit is that it uses XPlanar, a planar
motor system from Beckhoff, to transport workpieces with precision and flexibility. XPlanar replaces
prior systems used to move often sensitive workpieces such as PCBs and eliminates the need to install
complex 6-axis robots and linear motors.
