We recently partnered with an automation integrator to develop a specialized Gripping Mechanism gripper for handling shaft workpieces. The system operates in demanding high-cycle conditions, completing each handling sequence in under 20 seconds.https://hvr-magnet.com/
What Our Customer Appreciated:
Custom Engineering Capability
We adapted the gripper design to perfectly match their specific workpiece dimensions and cycle requirements.Proven Reliability
After years of continuous operation in high-frequency production, the gripper maintains consistent performance with minimal maintenance.Responsive Support
When questions or needs arise, our team provides prompt solutions to keep operations running smoothly.
Why This Matters in Automation:
In high-speed production environments, every second counts. Equipment must not only perform reliably, but also maintain precision through thousands of cycles. Our electric permanent magnet technology offers several advantages for such applications:
• No mechanical wear from repeated actuation
• Consistent holding force regardless of cycle frequency
• Energy-efficient operation with power only needed during switching
The ability to customize the solution was particularly valuable in this case. We modified the magnetic circuit to optimize grip strength while ensuring quick release – critical for meeting the 20-second cycle target.
Long-Term Performance:
Many magnetic solutions degrade over time, especially in demanding conditions. This installation demonstrates how proper design and quality components deliver lasting performance. The customer reports the same reliable operation years later as when first installed.
We understand that even the best equipment sometimes needs support. That’s why we maintain close communication with customers, ready to assist whether it’s routine maintenance questions or optimization suggestions.
For automation engineers considering magnetic handling solutions, we’re happy to share our experience with high-cycle applications. Sometimes seeing how others have solved similar challenges can spark new ideas for your own projects.
