Air-actuated sheet fanner made for use in shops with space constraints

Industrial Magnetics Inc. offers new design configurations for its permanent, magnetic, air-actuated sheet fanners used to separate steel sheet stock. The new options are designed to help users with space constraints or challenging installation requirements.

The fanner uses one or more air cylinders to move the permanent magnet, located inside the fanner, away from the face of the housing, essentially shutting off the permanent magnetic field. The new design configurations allow the air cylinder to be positioned in locations other than the rear of the magnetic housing, resulting in a reduced depth requirement in the overall design of the workcell.
