The Optimag Pneumatic gripper is a pneumatically switched magnet. It is supplied as a modular system in five standard sizes, each having the option of fine or coarse pole configuration. This ensures that the maximum clamping power is made on the minimum thickness materials.
Fine Pole
Used for clamping or lifting thin or perforated ferrous pressings and sheet material. The fine pole version has double the magnetic poles of the coarse pole version. This means the magnetic circuit is completed by far thinner material. This is why the fine pole Optimag can pick up single sheets from the top of a stack without attracting the sheet below.
Coarse Pole
Used for clamping and or lifting of materials with rough, uneven surfaces. The coarse pole Optimag also provides greater clamping forces on thicker materials than the fine pole Optimag.
Fail Safe
This system is the ultimate fail-safe magnet. The cylinder houses a high performance Neodymium magnet pack. This is moved to contact the work piece when the magnet is switched on. If the air fails, the magnet pack stays in position; the Optimag stays energized and the load stays held. Optimag does not become de-energized until it is switched off.
Optional Sensing
Optimag offers an optional sensing attachment. This unique device signals only when the magnet is in contact with a component and is energized. This feature is key in the integration of the magnet and the robot.
Fixing
Each magnet has a central M10 x 20 deep fixing hole. This is supported by one anti-rotation hole 8mm diameter x 8mm deep.
