Material Handling Magnets From Eclipse Magnetics
|
Electronically, pneumatically and manually switched permanent magnets for integration into any production environment. Full range to deal perfectly with all thicknesses of ferrous material. Easily incorporated into your existing or self-engineered handling applications.
FAILSAFE OPERATION - if the air or power supply fails when the magnet is holding a load - the loads remains held.
Safe, fast, efficient removal of single sheets of steel, or pressings, between 0.2mm and 6mm thick, from stacks. Prevent handling of two sheets at a time which can be dangerous, cause damage and downtime. Range of options for most situations including switchable units designed for high speed / high volume production lines. Ideal for use with Eclipse Magnetics lifting magnets.
Eclipse Magnetics produces a range of conveyors and conveyor systems to suit the full spectrum of applications and industries.
We specialise in producing the correct specification to suit your application. Our conveyors are being used in the following industries:
Conveyors can be supplied as free-standing units or indeed as part of an integrated system that you are building; we will meet your specific requirements.
Features
These magnetic beams provide a solution for baking tray storage systems, in automated bakeries. The system picks multiple trays from storage and deposits them onto the production line. Once the production of a particular bread type has finished, the trays are returned into storage and the next tray type is brought out with no changes to the magnetic picking head. Coverage / length ofbeam: 8 metres. The Beam Magnetic Heads Air pressure required: 5 bar min, 10 bar max. Compliance Assemblies Over Travel Sensors Part Present Sensors
These high specification Pneumatically Switchable Permanent Magnets are extensively used for both palletising and de-palletising of products in full layers, to and from production lines. When these units are used in transfer systems incorporating numerous product changes high benefits are realised. Downtime is reduced as no gripper changes are required.
Product Virtually any tin or capped glass container of product, can be lifted whether full or empty The magnet is manufactured to suit the customer’s requirements, the magnet is comparatively light, its weight, plus the product weight, must be taken into account when integration is being made with either a gantry system or robot. Eclipse Magnetics produce a full range of de-palletising magnets. This ranges from units designed to pick individual components, through to the units to suit the full range of pallet sizes including the Euro Pallet.
The magnetic heads are a High Specification Pneumatically Switchable Permanent Magnet arrangement. The magnet weight to performance ratio makes it ideal for robot and gantry integration. The high-energy magnets retain their magnetism indefinitely never needing to be re-energised. The magnet arrangement is determined during the design stages; this takes account of all product types that require moving. The magnetic face is supplied with a stainless steel contact / wear plate. To give the unit rigidity and long life. High quality precision bearings and pneumatic cylinders are used. Compressed air is used to switch the magnet On / Off, the magnet remains on in the event of total air failure. This failsafe feature is extremely beneficial in the environments where these magnets operate. The magnetic head movement is enclosed reducing the risk of contamination with your products in pre-filling applications. The magnet head will pick up product through normal packaging materials or even boxed products if required. Air pressure required: 5 bar minimum, 7 bar maximum. Additional Options Available
Applied Magnetic Systems have earned an excellent reputation for designing and manufacturing special applications, represented and fully supported by a time served engineering team. This team has accumulated over 200 years of experience in the field of magnetic applications. This experience allows Eclipse Magnetics to work with you the customer, to meet the exact needs and requirements of your application. This expertise allows special bespoke products to be manufactured as the norm and surprisingly the cost of them are little more than the cost of a standard product, many being designed and manufactured in 4 - 6 weeks from placement of order. Case Studies Quick-change system to hold quick change wooden formers for vacuum forming rubber products. Vacuum / Magnetic bed with 4 independently switchable zones including a central vacuum area. Nukem Ultimate lifting device for picking and moving radioactive waste containers, ranging from 3 mm thick files filled with waste, through to sealed drums. Supply was a fully remotely actuated, hydraulically operated system, incorporating fully flexible magnet pads, capable of holding flat or radiused containers, all pads are self-adjusting. Clancy Ltd Multiple fixtures for cylindrically grinding engine components. Designed to have repeatability on 1,000,000s of components ground to tight tolerances. Supply was rotary magnets affectionately named the "Hedgehog" because of its looks (see picture above). These units switch in two halves, the fixtures have multiple accurate locations that are hardened and ground. Initially ordering a single unit the fixture proved to be so successful that many are now in use, mass-producing auto components.
