Permanent electromagnetic gripper for robot, is a type of magnetic end effector that is usually employed to position and retain parts in automated assembly operations. It is another type of handling the work parts other than the mechanical grippers and vacuum grippers.
How Does An Electromagnetic Gripper for Robot Work?
The working principle of magnetic gripper is the magnetic force released after magnetization. That magnetic absorption force can pick up, hold, transfer the ferromagnetic piece and place it to another position, all this being done automatically by the robot. This enables pick and place robots to transport even very thin steel sheet one at a time.
What Is Electromagnetic Gripper Used For?
Magnetic grippers are used in a variety of industries where products or components contain ferrous metal. Latest applications of magnet grippers include material handling, palletizing, and pick and place of steel workpiece or parts in industrial automation.
What Are The Advantages of Magnet Grippers?
Electromagnetic gripper has several advantages for handling ferrous parts over conventional impactive, ingressive or contiguitive grippers. These grippers offer simple compact construction with no moving parts, uncomplicated energy supply, flexibility in holding complex parts and reduced number of set-ups. Magnet size is directly dependant on required gripping force.
There’s this upgraded type of magnetic end effector that combines the pros and circumvent the cons of electromagnetic gripper – permanent electromagnetic gripper for robot. You can consider it as a permanent magnet gripper whose magnetic force is switched on and off by electric pulse.
Competitive Edges of Permanent Electromagnetic Gripper over Electromagnetic Type:
·This gripper only requires one surface to grasp the materials.
·The grasping of materials is done very quickly.
·It does not require separate designs for handling different size of materials.
·It is capable of grasping materials with holes, like perforated steel sheet, which is unfeasible in the vacuum grippers.
·Precision handling of one single steel sheet each time instead of picking up 2 or multiple thin sheets
