PHILIPS APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES HAS DEMONSTRATED THE WORLD'S FIRST MAGLEV INVERTED PLANAR TECHNOLOGY. Philips Applied Technologies has announced a unique planar magnetic levitation motion technology - called Planar Maglev - that features a completely free-floating platform with six degrees of freedom while being unencumbered by the cables, cooling hoses and other mechanical connections typical of existing bearing-based approaches. The announcement builds on Philips Applied Technologies' 2003 demonstration of a Linear (rather than Planar) Maglev technology that has since been developed into a commercial product ready for OEM delivery and use.
