In this paper, material handing cleanroom stocker system for thin film solar cell line of photovoltaic industry and liquid crystal display line of flat panel display industry was selected for the study. Optimum solution for stocker system's CPS(Contactless Power Supply) is approached by changing the motion pattern, optimizing design & production, and analyzing characteristics of the power system. As a result, acceleration time of X-Axis changed from 3 sec to 4 sec, changed the input characteristic of CPS within approximately 11[kW]. This result shows that extending acceleration time of the X-Axis in Stocker Crane's motion pattern can reduce the capacity of the CPS, thus saving the manufacturing cost.

Recently, As increasing cleanroom size, Stocker system is trending the large size and long distance for LCD material transfer system In order to rise a rate of production, the manufacturer are on the decrease of total tact time with Stocker system And the manufacturer are requested to high speed of next generation Stocker system Also manufacturers for the high oil prices through energy-saving conservation to minimize plant operating costs are required. Therefore, this paper propose optimal design of high efficiency Contactless Power Supply(CPS) system about high speed and energy savings of next generation Stocker system This paper proposes CPS system is applied in the long distance and straight section with Stocker system for energy savings. The test results of input!output characteristic and efficiency of CPS system on operating pattern of Stocker system were analyzed, and proved the applicability on commercial use.

For a control of CPS(Contactless Power Supply), the paper deals with the results which are simulated by a equivalent electric circuit on the LIPT(Linear Inductive Power Transmission). In order to control the CPS, the output values is handled with the driving frequency according to the change of a load. The method that controls the driving frequency for adjusting the output power is reasonable to be applied to the controller. But, when the driving frequency meets the resonant frequency and passes, it lead to a serious problem. Therefore, the controlled region of the driving frequency has to be predicted and determined by the simulation of a electric circuit.

Recently, Contactless Power Supply(CPS) system has been broadly studied as a power supply system for Flat Panel Display(FPD) material transfer equipments. In mass production line, CPS systems on material transfer equipment are applied only in the straight sections with single operating vehicle. The formal CPS system was not adequate for curved section nor multiple operating vehicles. Therefore, this paper presents CPS system that consists of straight and curved section with multiple operation vehicles. The circuit topology of CPS system consists of full bridge configured serial-parallel resonant DC/DC converter. The control method for CPS system consists of duty control method on the primary power supply system to maintain constant resonant current. And the secondary power supply systems of multiple vehicles are self controled to maintain constant output voltage. Practically, the test result of dual vehicles on straight and curved section of material transfer equipments were satisfactory, and proved it's applicability on commercial use.

This paper explains stocker system that is operated in the long distance and linear area. The power system of stocker system uses Contactless Power Supply(CPS) to reduce problems of particle generation. The circuit configuration of CPS is simplified than the conventional ones, and the prototype is designed for commercial product. To transfer output data(information) from crane(secondary vehicle system) of the CPS to Primary system optical modem and TMS320F243(DSP, TI) are used between primary and secondary. power system are used, and the output voltage is controlled by operating frequency modulation. This paper is applied to stocker system controlled as one to one communication between the moving part(secondary system) and fixed part(primary system) of crane using optical modem. The study makes one to multi communication between fixed part and moving part for the purpose of multi crane operation of stocker system and must be done in the future.

Among the alternative energy sources, the solar energy is recognized as an important energy source and its application is increasing. Especially in future, the hybrid solar energy generation system with battery will be widely used as an independent distributed power generation system. In this paper, a solar power hybrid home generation system using a contactless power supply (CPS) that can transfer an electric power without any mechanical contact by using magnetic coupling instead of the power transfer by directly supplying the DC power to the home electric system is proposed. The proposed system consists of a ZVS boost converter, a half bridge LLC resonant converter and contact-less transformer.

In recent semiconductor and FPD (Flat Panel Display) manufacturing processes, high clean-class delivery operation is required more and more for short working time and better product quality. Traditionally SLIM (Single-sided Linear Induction Motor) is widely used in the liner drive applications because of its simplicity in the rail structure. A magnetically levitated (Maglev) unmanned vehicle with SLIM traction, which is powered by a CPS (Contactless Power Supply) can be a high precision delivery solution for this industry. In this paper unmanned FPD-carrying vehicle, which can levitate without contacting the rail structure, is suggested for high clean-class FPD delivery applications. It can be more acceptable for the complex facilities composed with many processes which require longer rails, because of simple rail structure. The test setup consists of a test vehicle and a rounded rail, in which the vehicle can load and unload products at arbitrary position commanded through wireless communications of host computer. The experimental results show that the suggested vehicle and rail have reasonable traction servo and robust electromagnetic suspensions without any contact. The resolution of point servo errors in the SLIM traction system is accomplished under 1mm. The maximum gap error is ${\pm}0.25mm$ with nominal air gap length of 4.0mm in the electromagnetic suspensions. This type of automated delivery vehicle is expected to have significant role in the clean delivery like FPD glass delivery.
