New Magnetic Workholding System

February 1, 2010

SAV North America has introduced a new line of electropermanent workholding magnets designed to accommodate a range of material sizes and shapes for milling operations.

According to the company, these HEX Pole milling magnets deliver more holding power per square inch with six-sided pole configurations than typical square-shaped magnets to securely hold large and small products alike.

This system is mounted on the table of machining centers via clamps or palletized to a referencing system by use of a plug and socket power connection. Top tooling is available in both fixed and flexible pole configurations, allowing five-axis access to the workpiece.

These magnets are available in three models with multiple sizes, allowing users to choose the right size for their parts in milling applications.
