As a manufacturer of automation magnets, we provide efficient and reliable clamping solutions for industrial automation. One common application is the use of our EPMs as end effectors on gantry robots for handling various types of workpieces.
These magnets offer a practical way to grip, lift, move, and release ferromagnetic materials in automated production and logistics environments. They are suitable for transporting stamped parts, sheet metal, steel plates, and other magnetic workpieces in factories and warehouses.
How It Supports Automated Handling:
When mounted on a gantry robot, the electro-permanent magnet activates only when a current pulse is applied—either to attach or release the load. It does not require a continuous power supply to maintain its holding force. This makes it particularly suitable for high-frequency and repetitive handling tasks.
Main Advantages:
Energy Savings: Power is needed only during magnetization and demagnetization, not during holding.
Intrinsic Safety: In the event of a power failure or emergency stop, the workpiece remains securely held.
Minimal Maintenance: With no moving parts or constant power consumption, the system operates with high reliability over long periods.
Adaptable Design: Can be customized in size, shape, and magnetic force to match different workpiece characteristics.
Typical Applications:
Our automation magnets are widely used in metalworking, automotive manufacturing, appliance production, and material storage systems. They help automate processes such as loading/unloading CNC machines, transferring parts between conveyor lines, and organizing products in palletizing operations.
We work with integrators and end-users to design magnets that meet specific application needs, including load capacity, cycle time, and control interface.
If you are looking for a efficient and safe solution for automated workpiece handling, our electro-permanent magnets can be a practical option.
