Magnetic grab heads gripping sheet metal

Perforated Metal Sheets Magnetic grab heads gripping Perforated Metal SheetsROMHELD Automation is stocking magnetic grab head grippers from Goudsmit Magnetics for handling various types of sheet steel. According to the distributor, the grab heads are compact and havelow profiles. They use a Neoflux permanent magnet system, and areavailable in two types. A fine pole version is designed to pick up thin sheets one by one,while a reinforced model is said to provide maximum lifting power. The magnets are pneumatically operated, and switched on and off viacompressed air. According to the company, by eliminating theelectrical connection, it ensures the magnets will continue to holdeven if the air pressure or power fails. The magnetic working surface has anti-slip properties, provided bya replaceable silicon profile. The company claims the grab heads are designed for applications inautomated handling systems such as automatic production lines,press transfer units and robotic pick and place applications. Theunits will also pick up perforated and mesh products, with thereinforced version suited for handling steel profiles andbox-shaped products. The distributor says it holds a range of size, from 50mm diameterwith 60N holding force up to 130mm diameter with 1,100N maximumholding force and capability to handle from thin sheets up to 10mmplate.
