Flight height

Flight height 1:

Position

Explanation

1

Mover

2

Tile

3

Cover

Flight height 2:

Mover surface: feedback and setpoint origin of the mover

Flight height 3:

Top of the tile

Flight height 4:

Bottom of the tile

The flight height is the sum of the height of the mover, height at which the mover is flying, and the height of the tile:

Flight height 5:

Variable

Explanation

A

Height of the mover

B

Flight height of the mover

C

Tile height: base profile and stator

Z

Setpoint Z-position of the mover: distance from the bottom of the tile to the surface of the mover

Different calculations are made depending on the reference type. The decisive factor is whether a fixed flight height is to be defined for all movers or whether a common surface is to be achieved for all movers, regardless of the height of the mover.
