Systems and methods for linear motor system with curve compensation

A system for controlling movement of movers, the system comprising:

• a track comprising a plurality of track sections that define a travel path, the plurality of track sections comprising drive coils;
• a mover comprising a magnet array, the mover configured to be induced to move along the track by energization of the drive coils of the plurality of track sections;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• obtain track data from simulated or actual movement of the mover along the track;
• determine a value of angular misalignment between at least one of the drive coils and the magnet array due to curvature of one of the plurality of track sections based on the track data;
• determine, based on the value of angular misalignment, a correction for a control of at least one of the drive coils;
• and
• operate the at least one of the drive coils according to the correction for the control to compensate for the angular misalignment.
