Description
Automated fanner magnets are designed for high-volume, PLC-operated production lines. Unlike traditional sheet separators, an exclusive rack and pinion system rotates the magnet away from the unit face, totally eliminating any residual magnetic field and allowing for safer and more consistent movement of metal sheets.
Pneumatic automated fanner magnets utilize one of the basic laws of magnetics: like poles repel and opposites attract. By inducing “like” magnetic fields into a stack of steel sheets or plates, repelling forces are created from sheet to sheet, forcing them to separate. When a new stack is positioned, the magnet is turned on and sheeting fanning occurs, requiring no operator interface with the magnets.
The fanners are made from a powerful rare earth permanent magnet material with steel and stainless steel housing.
