Magswitch D85 pneumatic magnetic gripper for thin sheets
Article number: 81401267
The D85 is a pneumatically actuated magnetic gripper with a narrow footprint and ultra-flat magnetic field array technology , specifically designed to perform well on thin sheets – even where conventional magnets cannot find a hold.
This innovative end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) is ideally suited for a wide variety of robot-assisted automation processes , including:
- Press loading and unloading
- Unstacking parts
- Machine feeding
- Pick and Place
- Robotic order picking
- Ergonomic lifting aids
The D85 sets new standards compared to competing products through standardized sensor options, NAAMS mounting, fail-safe operation and the highest holding force per mm² on thin sheet metal currently available on the market.
Features
With modern NAAMS mounting interfaces, the D85 surpasses other solutions by:
- Unrivaled holding power per square centimeter
- Flexible mounting options
- Switching times below 300 ms
- Fail-safe operation – parts do not fall off in the event of a power failure.
- Available ON/OFF sensors
- Extensive standard accessories
- Ideal for the automatic handling of sheet metal parts
- Small footprint for complex geometries
- Low air pressure requirement
Competitive advantages
- Improved holding power per square centimeter
- Maximum holding power with a compact footprint
- Industry-leading destacking performance – the ultra-flat field technology enables the lifting of a single 2.0 mm thick sheet from a stack of sheets.
- Fewer tools are required to move a part.
- Simpler design of the end effector
- Magswitch is a world leader in magnetic single-sided workpiece clamping.
Industrial automation applications
automotive industry
Hoods, roofs, floor panels, door panels, dashboard panels, and roof brackets are crucial components in automotive production. Magswitch enables safe and reliable handling during assembly processes, reduces the risk of accidents, and ensures precise positioning.
Stamping applications
Loading and unloading circuit boards and transferring components requires controlled handling to ensure efficiency and safety. The Magswitch-D series offers a reliable solution for this, increasing productivity and minimizing downtime.
White goods manufacturing
Handling large household appliance housings (washing machines, dryers, dishwashers) requires robust equipment to ensure safety and efficiency. Magswitch offers a reliable solution for safely gripping and moving these bulky components, thus supporting leaner manufacturing processes.
Consumer goods production
From grills and smokers to lawnmowers and leaf blowers, consumer goods consist of numerous components that must be handled carefully during assembly. The Magswitch-D series provides the necessary stability and precision, contributing to higher product quality and more efficient mass production.
Achieve unbeatable performance in robot automation with the innovative Magswitch D85 pneumatic magnetic gripper.
