Magnetic Grippers for Industrial Automation

Magnetic gripper is a transfer device that can instantly catch magnetic substances by a strong electro permanent magnet.
The technology of the double magnet uses electrical power only for few seconds in activation “MAG” and deactivation “DEMAG”. cycles. The workpiece will not fall down due to the power outage.
It can catch and transfer various large and small sized substances. In addition to lifting and workholding, electro permanent magnets can be used as magnetic grippers to pick, lift, load, place, transfer of ferrous parts for robot arm and automation line as an end-of arm-tool. Followed with “Industry 4.0” trend, magnetic grippers would be more and more widely applied to intelligent plant in the near future in automation applications such as:
• Transfer lines                                 • Conveyor lines
• Pick and place equipment             • General engineering
• Robotics                                         • Packaging machinery
• Palletising/depalletising systems
