In a plating process, the steel plate is conveyed 20–50 m in the vertical direction for drying, during which it is negligibly supported by rollers and other mechanisms. This produces plating without uniformity owing to the generation of vibration and other factors, which prevent the increase in productivity. We have developed a noncontact guide system for a high-speed traveling elastic steel plate in which electromagnetic forces are applied by actuators at the edges of the plate to control the plate’s position. In this study, we investigated the vibration phenomenon when changing the steady current value of the electromagnet used for controlling the position. In addition, we conducted mode analysis of the steel plate to enable stable control even at low steady current values and verified whether stable guide can be provided by using it together with a permanent magnet. As a result, by arranging the permanent magnets, stable guidance was possible even at a low steady current value. In addition, it became clear that vibration damping performance is also improved.

The grasping and conveying of an object by utilizing the frictional force generated by contact are performed during various steps in the process of manufacturing industrial products. Deterioration of the surface quality due to these contacts is a problem. A noncontact way to transport steel plates using electromagnetic force has been proposed as a solution to these problems. In such applications to date, electromagnets are installed in the vertical direction. However, if the steel plate is thin and lacks sufficient flexural rigidity, it is difficult to exert enough suspension force to levitate the entire steel plate. To solve this problem, we propose an edge-supported electromagnetic levitation system suitable for flexible steel plates using electromagnets installed in the horizontal direction. In this paper, we report on levitation experiments to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system and discuss characteristics of the horizontal positioning of electromagnets and levitation suspension.
