Electrically switched electro-permanent lifting magnet FXE series

for sheet metalhandling

The FXE line of lift magnets allow the operator to pick-up ferrous metal sheets/parts and safely release them with the push of a button.They're ideal for lifting applications that require fast cycle times - without the operator having to touch the load. Combining the cost-efficiency and safety of a permanent magnet for load handling with the controlled-release capability of an electromagnet, the FXE uses virtually no energy and does not require a battery backup system. A built-in load sensor prevents the load from being released until it's at rest and the fail-safe permanent magnet design securely holds the load in the event power is lost. Pickup and release functions can be performed by using the wireless remote control or direct activation from the magnet's on-board control buttons. All labels and controls are located on top of the magnet, which gives the operator easier access and visibility, allows the magnet to fit into tight spots, and limits the risk of damage to the controls. FX lift magnets are manufactured by Flaig Magnetsysteme in Germany. IMI is the exclusive North American distributor.
