BRISC Magnetic Chucks: This product line includes permanent, electromagnetic, and electro-permanent magnetic chucks, utilized in various machining applications such as precision grinding, milling, turning, and electrical discharge machining (EDM, WEDM). The PMM model features a 4+11mm pole pitch, a maximum magnetic clamping force of up to 180 N/cm², a low flux depth of 6mm, and a coolant and waterproof structure. The EPS model is a fine-pitch electromagnetic chuck with a full metallic surface, 50x50mm square poles, and a magnetic force exceeding 200 kg per pole, incorporating electro-permanent magnetic technology to prevent deformation from temperature rise. BRISC AA/BB models are electro-permanent magnetic chucks for milling, offering high clamping forces, a magnetism elimination system, a durable waterproof surface, and integrated CUA-H/CUD-H control units.BRISCMagneticChucks:Thisproductlineincludespermanent,electromagnetic,andelectro-permanentmagneticchucks,utilizedinvariousmachiningapplicationssuchasprecisiongrinding,milling,turning,andelectricaldischargemachining(EDM,WEDM).ThePMMmodelfeaturesa4+11mmpolepitch,amaximummagneticclampingforceofupto180N/cm²,alowfluxdepthof6mm,andacoolantandwaterproofstructure.TheEPSmodelisafine-pitchelectromagneticchuckwithafullmetallicsurface,50x50mmsquarepoles,andamagneticforceexceeding200kgperpole,incorporatingelectro-permanentmagnetictechnologytopreventdeformationfromtemperaturerise.BRISCAA/BBmodelsareelectro-permanentmagneticchucksformilling,offeringhighclampingforces,amagnetismeliminationsystem,adurablewaterproofsurface,andintegratedCUA-H/CUD-Hcontrolunits.
magbo Mold & Die Clamps: These electro-permanent magnetic systems are designed for quick mold changes in injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, metal stamping, die casting, and rubber molding industries. The MBR model provides a service temperature of up to 250°C and uniform clamping force distribution across the entire mold surface, generating high power without residual magnetism through a special magnetic circuit. The MBP model boasts a force of 690 daN per pole, a 70mm pole size, 46mm magnet thickness, a maximum working temperature of 120°C, and a 20mm magnetic flux depth, integrating various safety and control features like real clamping force reading and mold slipping detection.magboMold&DieClamps:Theseelectro-permanentmagneticsystemsaredesignedforquickmoldchangesininjectionmolding,blowmolding,thermoforming,metalstamping,diecasting,andrubbermoldingindustries.TheMBRmodelprovidesaservicetemperatureofupto250°Canduniformclampingforcedistributionacrosstheentiremoldsurface,generatinghighpowerwithoutresidualmagnetismthroughaspecialmagneticcircuit.TheMBPmodelboastsaforceof690daNperpole,a70mmpolesize,46mmmagnetthickness,amaximumworkingtemperatureof120°C,anda20mmmagneticfluxdepth,integratingvarioussafetyandcontrolfeatureslikerealclampingforcereadingandmoldslippingdetection.
HELMHOLTZ Lifting Magnets: This comprehensive range of magnetic lifting solutions includes permanent, electro-permanent, pneumatically actuated permanent, battery-powered electro-permanent, and electromagnetic types. The NLT model is a pneumatically actuated permanent lifting magnet, featuring V-shaped pole shoes for handling both flat and round components and a removable lift eye. The HPB model is a battery-operated electro-permanent lifting magnet with radio remote control, offering a lifting capacity of 3300 lbs and incorporating the HSS (Helmholtz Safety System) for enhanced safety. The HPM 4/100 model is a multi-magnet lifter with a 22000 lbs lifting capacity, capable of safely handling steel plates with a minimum thickness of 0.20 inches.HELMHOLTZLiftingMagnets:Thiscomprehensiverangeofmagneticliftingsolutionsincludespermanent,electro-permanent,pneumaticallyactuatedpermanent,battery-poweredelectro-permanent,andelectromagnetictypes.TheNLTmodelisapneumaticallyactuatedpermanentliftingmagnet,featuringV-shapedpoleshoesforhandlingbothflatandroundcomponentsandaremovablelifteye.TheHPBmodelisabattery-operatedelectro-permanentliftingmagnetwithradioremotecontrol,offeringaliftingcapacityof3300lbsandincorporatingtheHSS(HelmholtzSafetySystem)forenhancedsafety.TheHPM4/100modelisamulti-magnetlifterwitha22000lbsliftingcapacity,capableofsafelyhandlingsteelplateswithaminimumthicknessof0.20inches.
