Introduction
In engineering machinery components, innovation drives progress. A company making and selling these parts uses HVR MAG’s HEPMP – 5715S in track shoe cutting. This blog details shift from old electromagnets to HVR MAG’s new tech. It also shows benefits after implementing this magnetic technology.
Background: The Issues with Electromagnet
The engineering machinery components company, recognized for its extensive production of track shoes. They encountered difficulties with their prior tooling-electromagnet. Although electromagnet were operational, they posed two significant problems: safety and reliability. Safety issues emerged from the possibility of magnet loss during power outages, which could result in the dropping of workpieces. Additionally, reliability was affected as the rapid production cycle of 5 seconds per piece led to overheating of the electromagnet, causing frequent breakdowns and adversely affecting production efficiency.
The Solution: HVR MAG’s HEPMP-5715S Magnetic Gripper
To address these issues, the customer chose HVR MAG’s HEPMP-5715S, an automated electro-permanent magnetic gripper designed for unloading and stacking track shoes after cutting. This solution was selected for its ability to improve both safety and reliability within the production process.
Safety and Reliability: A Tailored Solution
The HEPMP – 5715S is customized for customer’s track shoe process. Electro – permanent magnetic gripper strength is set by tests, has a high safety coefficient via modeling and testing. It keeps magnetic force during outages, reducing drop risk.
The reliability of the gripper stems from its construction, which incorporates components designed to withstand elevated temperatures and emphasizes efficient heat dissipation. This design effectively addresses the overheating issues often encountered during fast-paced production cycles, a frequent challenge with traditional electromagnetic devices. Additionally, the use of copper wiring in the HEPMP-5715S, as opposed to aluminum found in conventional electromagnetic systems, further minimizes heat production.
Client Feedback: An Outstanding Achievement
The customer has expressed considerable satisfaction with the performance of the HEPMP-5715S. The electropermanent magnetic gripper has operated for four years without any incidents affecting production speed, demonstrating a marked enhancement in reliability. The combination of its custom design and selected materials has successfully fulfilled the company’s rigorous production demands.
Conclusion: Advancing Production Efficiency
The engineering machinery components company has implemented HVR MAG’s HEPMP-5715S magnetic gripper. This move represents a key step forward in production efficiency and safety. By replacing the old electropermanent magnetic gripper, the company has overcome previous limitations. The result is a more reliable and secure production environment.
This case study shows the advantages of using advanced technology to improve industrial operations. It also stresses the importance of customized solutions for meeting the specific needs of different industries. Contact HVR MAG now for your customized magnetic solution.
