Power Matrix

The Power Matrix chuck consists of a magnetic grid made up of electronically-switched square pole permanent magnets.

"South" poles surround each "north" pole, providing an equal resistance to bi-directional forces.

Maximum holding forces on material from 12mm thick and above.

Configurations to suit most milling and grinding operations

• Standard sizes from 400mm x 200mm up to 1000mm x 600mm
• 2 different pole sizes
• 2 different powers for each pole size

High Quality, Low Maintenance

• Completely sealed with no moving parts
• High impact epoxy resin and steel magnetic working surface

Benefits of the Power Matrix System

• Uniform Clamping
• Lack of vibration during cutting resulting in
  • Greater accuracy
  • Longer tool life
  • Increased federates
• Access to 5 sides of the workpiece without obstruction
• Non-stop machining
• Reduced programming time
• Quick component clamping and release
• No bespoke fixturing
• Maximum safety - fail safe operation
• Energy saving - No power is required or used during the work holding / machining phases
• No heat generation - no top plate deformation
• No loss of magnetic power over time
