Abstract
A linear transporter includes: a transport path including a stator; multiple transport bodies that move along the transport path; a magnetizer that is installed on each of the transport bodies and generates a magnetic field for use in position detection; a magnetic detection element that is installed on the transport path and detects the magnetic field; a calculator that calculates the position of each of the transport bodies on the basis of the magnetic field detected by the magnetic detection element; and a correction value storage that stores a correction value set, which is a combination of correction values for correcting the position of each of the transport bodies. The magnetizer includes a magnet in which magnetic poles of different polarities are arranged alternately along a moving direction of the transport bodies.
