Goudsmit Magnetics’ magnetic gripper lifts thin sheets one by one.

The recently improved magnetic gripper from Goudsmit Magnetics is used for the automated pickup, placement, or positioning of steel and other ferromagnetic objects. Applications include removing sheet metal from presses; destacking products from boxes; assembling steel parts; and handling of punched steel parts, blanks, and perforated steel sheets in robotic applications.

The lightweight gripper is fitted with permanent neodymium magnets that can be switched on and off by means of compressed air. The system is suitable for lifting and transporting thin steel sheets one by one. The rubber pad at the end ensures that the workpiece does not slide during vertical pickup and prevents the workpiece from being damaged.
