Industrial Magnetics, Inc. patented family of Transporter® magnetic end-of-arm tooling will be on full display at Fabtech.
Transporters® magnetically transfer metal blanks, stampings & parts in automated station-to-station, press-to-press transfer or robotic pick-and-place applications, among many others. Engineered with powerful Rare Earth magnets that positively hold the part during transfer-even during unexpected loss of shop air - the Transporter® family greatly reduces chances for slipping and shifting of parts due to mill oil coatings, dust, dirt, rust or weld splatter.
Every Transporter® product provides more options for pick-up points on stamped, perforated and odd-shaped parts, and a significant reduction over vacuum and suction cups in shop air costs. In addition, all Transporters® offers more accurate placement on the die and quicker cycle times for increased production. Each is million-cycle-tested for endurance and incorporates a fail-safe feature that, in the event of air loss, prevents the magnet from releasing ferrous parts.
