Magnetic clamping systems reduce downtime

Small batches mean frequent die changes, but using the new M-Tecs magnetic clamping systems from Hilma-Roemheld can reduce downtime and setup costs, increasing productivity.

Ideal for processing thermoplastics, duroplastics and rubber, M-Tecs magnetic clamping systems are designed to suit horizontal and vertical machines and can easily be retrofitted.

The M-Tecs 130 range and M-Tecs 210 range are temperature resistant up to 130 and 210C, respectively, and both offer a clamping force of up to 18 kg/cm3.

Applications up to 260C are available on request.

Applications include processing of large workpieces, bumpers, dashboards and production of O-rings.

Because the clamping force is evenly distributed all over the clamped surface, tool wear is considerably reduced resulting in lower tool maintenance costs.

Magnetic clamping is a very safe and reliable system.

The system is kept firmly in place even in the event of a power failure, as electricity is only needed for 1-2s to first magnetise the system and then at the end of the batch to demagnetise the system.

Once magnetised, permanent magnets generate the required clamping force so that the system operates independently of any power source.
