Eclipse Magnetics can custom-engineer products and applications to your specification. From individual magnet to custom built complete handling systems Extremely quick turnaround Full engineering support Case Studies: combined magnetic / vacuum systems Until recently, Eclipse Magnetics manufactured lifting magnets for the handling of ferrous sheets and vacuum lifting systems for the handling of non-magnetic materials such as aluminium and stainless steel but never a combination of the two systems. The challenge set to Eclipse Magnetics team was to develop a system which can lift both ferrous and non-ferrous sheets: mild steel 0.6mm to 40mm thick, aluminium to 13mm thick AND stainless steel to 12mm thick. The result was the Eclipse MagVac a dual purpose magnetic and vacuum system. MagVacThe MagVac system uses high powered electronically switchable permanent magnets each with a safe working load of 800kg combined with a vacuum lifting neam which has a safe working load of 750kg. Both systems have been tested and rated with a 3:1 safety factor. Eclipse Magnetics is aware that safety is paramount in such a system. The magnets are designed to require power for the on / off switching only. FailsafeOnce energised, the magnets retain their hold indefinitely and are not affected by failure or interruption of the power supply therefore making the magnet part of the system fail safe. The vacuum system has a vacuum safety reserve which is automatically connected to the vacuum pad in the event of a power failure, allowing the beam to hold the load for approximately 30 minutes. Low vacuum in the lift condition triggers an audible alarm and visible red flashing light. To eliminate the possibility of the load being inadvertently released in mid-air, both vacuum and magnetic elements of the beam are fitted with load detection sensing, again emphasising the Eclipse commitment to safety. Eclipse aerosol de-palletising systemThe Eclipse aerosol de-palletising system was designed to de-palletise empty aerosol cans one layer at a time to provide a constant feed of cans to a filling line operating at speeds of up to 500 cans / min. The system also automatically removes layer pads from between the can layers and handles empty pallets. The system automatically accommodates different sizes of cans, for maximum flexibility. These magnets are extensively used for:
