Erie, Pennsylvania-based Eriez has introduced a new air-operated Burn Table Lift Magnet System, used to move multiple metal parts or cut-outs up and off of burn tables. With a powerful magnetic circuit design, this advanced transfer system can also lift single sheets or plates up to three inches thick from a stack to load the table.
When activated, a stainless steel stripper pan retracts to engage the steel parts with a very high magnetic holding force. To release, air cylinders push the stripper pan away from the magnetic head to create a gap and break the magnetic force.
By eliminating manual handling of multiple parts and the need for operators to climb on burn tables, the Eriez system helps improve productivity and creates a safer work environment. The system has applications in various process environments, including metalworking, mining, packaging, plastics, rubber, recycling, food, aggregate and textile industries.
