Industrial Magnetics, Inc. is an industry leader in providing both permanent magnets and electromagnets for work holding, lifting, fixturing, conveying and magnetic separation. IMI also provides state of the art metal detection systems for industries such as food stuffs, packaged goods, aggregates and mining. 

GW Technologies introduces IMI's range of materials handling magnets for press rooms.

 "Sheet Seeker" Permanent Magnetic Sheet Fanner
IMI's new Sheet Seeker is a breakthrough in magnetic sheet separation technology.  First, the magnetic circuit is lifted and locked into place for introduction to a stack of steel sheets.  Then, once the materials are in place, the sliding magnet is unlocked and automatically centres on the top of the stack and fans the sheet stock.  As each sheet is lifted off the stack, the magnet indexes down automatically and will fan to the bottom of the stack.  

Features & Benefits:

Features a powerful rare-earth, automatic indexing, permanent magnetic circuit

· Up to 60% lighter than standard sheet fanners with the same strength
· Durable stainless steel construction
· Light-weight design and convenient carry handle allows for easy transport
· Minimum height of 9".  Custom designs and options available upon request

 

Permanent Magnetic and Electromagnetic Sheet Fanners

IMI's permanent and electromagnetic Sheet Fanners are designed to separate steel sheet stock. 

As sheets are placed against the sheet fanner, the powerful magnetic field automatically forces the sheets apart and separates them from one another. Manually prying apart sticky, oily sheets is no longer necessary and die damaging double blanking problems are eliminated.

 

Magnetic Pallet Pin Fanners

Magnetic Pallet Pin Fanners have dual functionality!  Not only do they act as guides for aligning parts as they come off the blanking lines, but also as magnetic sheet fanners that fan or separate multiple sized or shaped blanks for the manual or automatic loading of a press.

Pin Fanners stay right on the pallet, from the blanking line to the press, without any extra set up!  Multiple magnet positions ensure direct contact with the blank for maximum fanning ability, and since they are mounted directly to the pallet, there’s less down time and maintenance on the line.

• Pin fanners function as both pallet pins & sheet 

  fanners all
 in one unit 

• Go from blanking line to press line with no
  extra sheet fanner set-up

• Multiple fanning positions

• Pin fanners require less maintenance time on
  the line

• Ensured contact with blank to maximize
  fanner performance

• Works with multiple sized or shaped blanks

• Reversing active fanner area allows for easy removal of  the
fanner from the
  stack and faster changeover of materials

 

In response to extensive field use, IMI has created a second-generation, modularized unit, where the base of the Pin Fanner now has a standard, threaded rod that accepts either a "Hex", "Round", "T-Slot" or custom designed mounting configuration. This allows operators to use the same magnetic Pin Fanners on multiple styles of pallets, by simply switching out the threaded mounting piece.
