Industrial Magnetics, Inc. has posted an application video of their magnetic Transporter® end-of-arm tooling that demonstrates how powerful Rare Earth magnets positively hold a part during transfer and offer more options for pick-up points on stamped, perforated and odd-shaped parts than traditional vacuum cups.

The recently expanded Transporter® LP magnetic end-of-arm tooling line is designed to magnetically transfer metal blanks, stampings & parts in automated station-to-station, press-to-press transfer and robotic pick-and-place applications.

Ideal for applications in the Appliance, Automotive, and Office Furniture industries, as well as numerous other material handling applications, the Transporter® LP is next-generation sheet handling technology.

Now available in 5 different configurations, including Standard, Non-Rotating(NR), Destacking(DS), Double-Acting(DA) and Extra-Strong(ES) models, the Transporter® LP's are designed to directly replace vacuum cups with only minor tooling adjustments and can be easily installed to existing air connections on tooling booms or robotic face plates.

Standard products are available to order online at http://www.magnetics.com, along with a full line of accessories and fittings such as adhesive pads, urethane boots and BSPP fittings. IMI also specializes in custom designs, providing magnetic Transporter® products for coil lifting, banded material handling and other challenging applications.
