Magnet End Effectors

Handling metal parts can be challenging, especially when traditional gripping methods fail. For delicate designs, thin structures, or awkward placements, excessive pressure from gripper jaws can cause damage. Magnet end effectors offer a safer alternative by securely moving metal components without contact, preventing damage while increasing efficiency.

Why Choose Magnet End Effectors for Metal Handling?

Handling metal parts can be challenging, especially when traditional gripping methods fall short. Not all metal components are easy to grip, whether it’s due to their delicate design, thin structure, or awkward positioning in fixtures. When traditional gripper jaws apply too much pressure, they risk damaging the product. That’s where magnet end effectors come into play.

By using magnets, these tools offer a safer, more efficient way to handle metal parts of various shapes and sizes, ensuring your components are moved quickly, securely, and without damage.

Benefits of Using Magnet End Effectors

Magnet end effectors excel in situations where traditional gripping methods fall short. From de-stacking thin sheets to lifting heavy weldments, their versatility makes them ideal for various applications.

Unlike gripper jaws, which can squeeze too tightly, magnets provide a no-contact solution, protecting fragile parts from damage.

Whether your components are small, large, round, or irregularly shaped, magnet end effectors offer the flexibility needed to move them with precision and care.


Applications for Magnet End Effectors

Magnet end effectors are just one piece of the toolkit available for handling metal parts.

Additional solutions include barrel handlers, custom hooks, slings, and forklift attachments for larger loads, while our vacuum lifts and sheet metal lifters are perfect for more delicate materials.

Specialized tools like coil hooks, pallet lifters, and stainless end effectors round out a comprehensive set of options designed to optimize your handling processes.
