Specifications
Presence Sensor
Detects the presence of a component. After magnetization, an internal sensor measures the change in the magnetic field. After a corresponding threshold value is exceeded, the workpiece is released.
Process Reliability
The EMH magnetic gripper ensures safe and reliable operation. By changing the polarity of the permanent magnets through short current pulse, the magnetic gripper remains in the selected status, even in case of a power failure or emergency stop.
Gripping Round Components
The EMH magnetic grippers can also be equipped with pole extensions to suit the workpiece. Special pole extensions are available for round components, for example, with prismatic or even with concave contours. The pole extensions are supplied with mounting material.
Variable Holding Force Control
The gripping force can be adjusted in four stages via digital inputs. These enable the gripping and separation of a wide variety of workpieces.Stage 1: 15% holding forceStage 2: 25% holding forceStage 3: 35% holding forceStage 4: 100% holding force
