Activated by physically moving a handle, the fixtures require no electrical power supply, making them easy to install and transfer between machines. A permanent magnetic system does not generate any heat, so there is no risk of thermal deformation of the pole plate or the workpiece.
The magnetic field in electromagnet fixture systems is generated by coils supplied with a DC current and activated by a control unit. The control unit also allows the magnetic force to be varied to suit the application, and operation can be manual, automatic or a combination of both.
