MAGNETIC GRIPPER FOR ROBOT APPLICATIONS
Goudsmit Magnetic has developed a magnetic gripper or robot-end-of-arm-tooling which is used for picking up or holding items such as punched steel parts, blanks and perforated steel sheet in robotic applications in the automotive industry. The ultralight magnetic gripper is fitted with permanent magnets and can be used in grippers on robot arms. The magnets can be switched on and off pneumatically. This enables the system to pick up and transport even very thin steel sheets one at a time. The rubber pad at the end ensures that the work piece does not slide during vertical pick-up and prevents the work piece from being damaged. This easily installable system is already in use by a number of large car manufacturers.
