The safest lifting magnet
Electro permanent magnetic technology
The electric current is only used to invert the magnetic field, while the effective force is generated by permanent magnets. In the event of a power failure, the magnetic force remains permanently present = 100% safe
Safety factor 3:1
To lift safely, a possible air gap between the contact surface of the magnet, and the steel to be lifted, must be considered. That is why all our magnets are designed with a minimum safety factor of 3: 1 measured at an air gap of 0.4 mm.
Landing detection
An inductive proximity switch and associated cam, mounted on the harp shackle of the hoisting chain, prevents accidental demagnetizing in the air.
Pick-up cycle
Lifting is done in 2 phases, whereby the workpiece is first lifted at a lower preset force, immediately followed by FULLMAG (100% of the total force)
2 Button operation
To start the demagnetization cycle, 2 buttons (SAFE + DEMAG) must be pressed consecutively on the remote control.
Radio remote control
An inductive proximity switch and associated cam, mounted on the harp shackle of the hoisting chain, prevents accidental demagnetizing in the air.
SPC-system (system performance check)
The electronic system continuously monitors the proper functioning of the magnet. Any abnormal situation is reported immediately and indicated by an error code on the help screen. In this way, errors can be immediately analysed and resolved.
Lamp block
The status of the magnet is visually indicated by a clear LED lamp block. The load may only be moved when the green lamp lights up continuously!
Instruction panel
With clear safety instructions for the user regarding:
- Maximum weight of the load in function of material thickness
- Maximum wing in function of the deflection of the material
