Lifting magnets for cutting systems are increasingly in demand. In the construction machinery industry, automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding and many other industries we need to use and process metal materials. The first step in metal processing is cutting. Where the raw material is simply cut off or separated by shape to obtain a blank. Common metal cutting methods are: wheel cutting, saw cutting, flame cutting, plasma cutting, laser cutting and waterjet cutting.
Among other things, laser cutting uses a high energy laser beam to heat, partially melt and vaporise the metal to complete the cutting of the material. And is usually used for efficient precision cutting of thin steel plates (<30mm). The cutting quality of the laser is excellent. Not only in terms of cutting speed and dimensional accuracy (up to ±0.05mm), but also because the laser beam acts on a very small area. The heat-affected zone is very small and the workpiece is almost undeformed. This is why laser cutting machines are widely used in industrial production.
The industries where metal laser cutting machines are widely used
The construction machinery industry, for example, requires a large number of round, square and shaped holes to be cut in various thicknesses of plate with very high precision requirements. With laser cutting it is possible to quickly punch holes and cut the desired shape. Greatly improving production efficiency and product quality.
In the field of shipbuilding, laser cutting marine steel plate cutting seam quality. Good verticality of the cutting surface. No slag, thin oxidation layer, smooth surface, no secondary processing. Direct welding, small thermal deformation. Curve cutting high precision, reduce coordination work time, to achieve high-strength ship plate barrier-free cutting.
Many precision parts and materials are also found in automobiles, such as automotive brake pads and doors. In order to improve the safety of the vehicle, cutting precision must be guaranteed. However, traditional machining methods or manual labour make it difficult to guarantee precision and efficiency. Laser cutting therefore allows rapid batch processing with high precision, high efficiency, burr-free and one-off production. This is the reason why laser cutting machines are widely used in the automotive industry.
Why we need lifting magnets for cutting systems
At the same time, the loading and unloading of the laser cutting machine is also an issue that needs to be focused on. Before the steel plate is cut, we usually need to transfer a whole larger sheet of steel onto the cutting machine table. After the cutting is complete, the cut workpiece needs to be sorted out. If you rely on manual handling and sorting, it is very inefficient. This is why there is an increasing demand for cutter magnets, and buying a suitable cutter magnet will allow you to maximise your metal cutting efficiency.
The HM5 Series Lifting Magnets for Cutting Systems from HVR MAG help you to efficiently handle the loading and unloading of cutting machines.The HM5 Series allows for fast and efficient loading and unloading of plates on any type of cutting machine (plasma, laser). Unlike mechanical methods, magnetic handling allows you to clean cut parts. And unload the skeleton and reload new plates quickly, efficiently and safely. This eliminates costly machine idle time, which translates into increased throughput.
HM5 Series Lifting Magnets for Cutting Systems are made up of several sets of electro-permanent magnetic modules, elastically suspended and in perfect contact with the workpiece. Depending on the size of the cut piece to be removed, the corresponding magnetic module can be selected to work. The loading and unloading operations are controlled by means of integrated digital push buttons or the radio remote control supplied as standard. the HM5 series is available in standard and customised sizes.
