Abstract :
In this paper a system to move a ferrofluid mass along a predefined path is presented. The mass is driven by a travelling magnetic fields generated through an electromagnetic actuation system. The pattern is defined and controlled by a dedicated LabView® interface. A description of the adopted experimental set-up is given along with some experimental results.
