Eriez offers a new white paper that highlights how permanent lifting magnets are used to load/unload burn and laser tables while providing greater safety than many other mechanical material handling devices, the company states.
“Improve Safety, Speed and Efficiency in Cutting & Burn Tables with Permanent Lifting Magnets,” written by Eriez Metalworking Market Manager Andrew Kloecker, covers the features and benefits of lifting magnets and offers guidance for proper selection based on the application. Gun Magnet
According to the white paper, permanent lifting magnets can lift and transfer a variety of iron and steel parts without slings, hooks, or cables—and without marring the product’s surface. There is no requirement for an outside power source, so no concern for dropping parts due to a power outage.
The white paper explains that there are three common lift magnet categories: lever-operated, automatic, and full coverage. Kloecker describes the key factors to consider when choosing a lifting magnet, including dimensions, weight, shape, material thickness, temperature, surface condition, and contact area of the piece to be lifted. The paper also includes a case study of a carbon steel parts-to-print supplier.
