- Characterization of separation without remanence
- Grip activation status
Electromagnetic controller applications
There are many applications that make use of the magnetic controller and allow the handling of ferromagnetic parts (nuts, disks, rollers, bearings, balls, sheets, tubes) in a variety of shapes, sizes and weights, for :
- Conveying
- Unstacking
- Depalletizing
- Bin picking
- Handling
- Transfers
The fields of use for an electromagnetic controller
- Fitting or assembly line
- Robotic handling process
- Line transfers
- Etc.
