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

Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
