Electromagnetic Quick, Safe Die-Clamping System
November 19, 2024Comments
Soph featured the Magbo MBS electro-permanent magnetic
quick-die-clamping system for stamping presses, suitable for suitable for die
plates, die shoes, quick-die-change plates or parallels of any size with no
modifications, thus delivering savings in engineering time and overall cost.
Needing only a single operator and no tools, MBS in a few
seconds with the press of a
button enables safe die clamping and unclamping. MBS offers locating devices and
bolster extensions that easily can be added, and scrap holes can be used. The
system provides uniform clamping with as much as 12 tons/sq. ft. of force, and
is not affected by electrical breakdowns as the die will stay in position at
the same strength indefinitely even without power supply.
MBS does not magnetize the entire die, company officials explain, as the magnetic flux penetrates the die only to a depth of 20 mm. The die face and part cannot become magnetized, allowing for scrap removal and proper die operation without interference.
New to MBS, a force-reading controller that accurately measures clamping force and enables die identification for as many as 10,000 separate dies.
