Cylinder actuated magnetic transporters

INDUSTRIAL Magnetics Inc has added a new product to its successful line of Magnetic Transporters ® for heavy, ferrous metal parts handling – the “cylinder actuated” model (TPCA). Originally designed to replace vacuum cups, the patented Transporter ® utilises a powerful, rare earth, permanent magnet circuit to pick and place sheet metal parts in automated transfers or lift-assist material handling applications and utilising up to 95% less shop air. The new TPCA’s are ROLL-KRAFT has added embossing rolls to its list of tooling produced for the metal roll forming industry. Embossing is a metal forming process that corrugates a series of straight or parallel ridges onto a metal sheet or strip. One major benefit to embossing is that it increases the strength-to-weight ratio of the formed sheet metal. Roll-Kraft offers full-service manufacturing and full-service reworking services: full-

capable of handling heavier parts than the standard transporter series, such as tubes, castings or complete parts assemblies, and provide material handling safety while significantly reducing shop air costs. Offering a slim profile, instantaneous pickup and release and requiring no electricity, the cylinder actuated transporter magnet is ideal for lifting in and out of totes, bins, or other hard to manoeuvre applications such as components for automotive, lawn/farm equipment, service manufacturing – Roll-Kraft’s ISO 9001:2000 certified manufacturing processes and computer-aided design software (linked directly to CNC equipment) deliver greater accuracy and faster turnaround for all machine tooling, including embossing rolls. Full-service reworking – Roll-Kraft’s comprehensive reworking service gives a customer what no one else does: 24-hour emergency service, detailed inspection

pumps, compressors or motors and fan assemblies. Options available include solenoid control valves, custom designed pole shoes, magnet mounted control valves, and magnets designed into ergonomic lifting systems.
