Planar Motor is redefining motion through precision planar magnetic levitation. Our cutting‑edge, industry‑leading systems enable ultra‑smooth, multi‑degree‑of‑freedom movement for industries ranging from advanced manufacturing to biomedical automation. We are a team of forward thinkers, engineers, and innovators working at the frontier of control and motion systems. We are based in Richmond, BC, Canada.
PMI's planar motor technology won the gold award in the Motors and Mechanical Motion Devices category by Design News in 2019 for its unprecedented flexibility, precision, intelligence, reconfigurability, scalability, and traceability. Planar motors are smart industrial robots that use magnetic forces for levitation and propulsion with six degrees of freedom. Planar motor‑based smart conveying systems are ideal for applications ranging from clean t...
