MAGNETIC TIMING BELT FOR STEEL SHEETS
For the fast and precise placement of steel sheets in a press, Goudsmit Magnetics have developed a magnetic timing belt that transports these sheets to and from the press. The transport to and fro is done with an acceleration speed of 6 m/s2. If desired, the belt can be provided with permanent or switchable electro magnets. In the latter case, the magnetic force can be switched on and off electrically, with the possibility for a robot to take the sheets over.
