 Magnetic
Grippers are ideal for use where vacuum cups and
grippers are typically used for lifting and moving
steel sheets, blanks, stamped parts and complete
assemblies. Applications & Benefits:
- Automated press to
press transfer systems
- Robotic “Pick &
Place”
- Manual and automated
machine loading/unloading
- Outlasts vacuum cups
in most applications
- Grasps odd shaped or
perforated parts
- Increases production
and reduces shop air costs
- Designed for long,
maintenance-free operation
- Operates effectively
in any orientation
- Will not drop parts
if system air-loss occurs
- De-stacks without
double-blanking when the appropriate magnet is
selected for the application
- Reduces noise
- Maximum operating
temperature 140°F (60°C)
Low Profile Magnetic
Grippers:
The Magnetic Gripper is
designed to directly replace vacuum cups with minor
tooling and valving adjustments. Powerful Rare Earth
magnets positively hold the parts during transfer,
greatly reducing the chance of slipping and shifting
of your part due to oily coatings. An optional
“low-skid” boot is also available to increase grip on
parts during transfer. A short burst of shop air
pressure is applied in order to release parts. To
pick-up or grip parts, the air pressure must be
exhausted to the atmosphere.
- Powerful Rare Earth
magnet positively holds parts - no dropping or
shifting in the event of air loss
- Can be used with
standard SAS parts and framework
- Lightweight,
low-profile design for minimal die clearance
- Instantaneous
pick-up and release
- Uses up to 95% less
air than vacuum cups
NOTE:
Supply air pressure
must not exceed 60 PSI at the Magnetic Gripper inlet.
Operating at pressures above 60 PSI will lead to
premature failure of the unit. Air must be clean, dry
and non-lubricated. Air pressure should never be
applied to the Magnetic Gripper during a transfer
cycle. This will cause the loss of a part. Apply air
when in position to release the part. In some
applications, air may need to be applied to retract
the magnet before contacting the part. If the magnet
“reach out” lifts the part from the guides before
making contact, causing loss of part position, apply
air to the Magnetic Gripper prior to lifting the part. |
