At HVR MAG, we specialize in engineering and manufacturing the core components that make automation smoother and more efficient. Our focus is on magnetic workholding system technology, a smart, energy-saving solution for handling flat steel plates and similar workpieces.
How They Work: Simplicity and Reliability
Unlike traditional electromagnets that require a constant flow of electricity to hold a load, our EPM systems work differently. A brief current pulse switches the magnet on, creating an incredibly strong holding force. Another brief pulse switches it off. In between, no power is needed. The workpiece is held securely by the permanent magnets within the system.
This means:
Energy Efficiency:Â Zero energy consumption during holding, reducing operating costs.
Intrinsic Safety:Â In the event of a power failure or emergency stop, the load remains securely attached, protecting your machinery and personnel.
Minimal Heat Generation:Â Without constant current, the magnets stay cool, ensuring long-term reliability.
Designed for Seamless Integration
We understand that our magnets are a single component within a larger, complex system. Therefore, our design philosophy prioritizes seamless integration.
Our EPM lifters are built to work hand-in-hand with robotic arms, gantry systems, and other automated machinery. They feature:
Standardized Interfaces:Â Easy connection points for quick installation.
Robust Construction:Â Built from high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of an industrial environment.
Customizable Options:Â We offer various sizes, holding forces, and shapes (rectangular, circular) to match your specific application, whether it’s in laser cutting, bending, welding, or material sorting.
The Practical Benefits for Your Operation
By incorporating our magnetic workholding system into your production line, you move beyond just lifting. You enable a more streamlined process.
Gentle Handling:Â The flat, consistent magnetic field minimizes stress on materials, preserving the quality of your sheet metal.
Faster Cycle Times:Â Quick on/off switching allows for rapid pickup and release, accelerating your overall workflow.
Reduced Downtime:Â With no moving parts and minimal wear, our systems are designed for minimal maintenance and maximum uptime.
Our Commitment
As a manufacturer, we control the process from raw materials to the finished product. This allows us to ensure consistent quality, performance, and traceability for every unit we produce. We are not just suppliers; we are technical partners ready to provide support and solutions.
If you are designing a new automated cell or looking to improve an existing one, we invite you to learn more about how our electro-permanent magnet technology can provide a safer, more efficient, and more reliable holding solution.
