Unit Overview:
MPI’s Standard Sheet Separators (SS Series) meet the needs of demanding manufacturing environments. They are designed to improve productivity and employee safety in sheet handling operations. These magnets can also provide significant benefits in reducing costs by eliminating “doubles” when handling oily, sticky, or pre-finished sheet stock in an automated stamping, forming, or shearing operations.
MPI sheet separators are designed to improve productivity and employee safety in sheet handling operations. These magnets can also provide significant benefits in reducing costs by eliminating “doubles” when handling oily, sticky, or prefinished sheet stock in an automated stamping, forming, or blanking operation. Sheet separators utilize the basic laws of magnetic “like poles” repelling characteristics in their use and operation. By inducing “like” magnetic fields into a stack of steel sheets or plates, repelling forces are created from sheet to sheet, forcing them to separate from each other.
The Pallet Pin Stack Tracker (STSS) series is the safest manually operated sheet separator available. These units properly separate sheets while eliminating pinch points during operation. Simply slide the housing over the pin and attach the Stack Tracker to the side of the stack of blanks, near the top. As blanks are removed, the Stack Tracker will work its way to the bottom of the stack, fanning individual blanks as it moves.
The Stack Tracker significantly increases uptime by eliminating the possibility of double sheets when handling oily, sticky, or pre-finished blanks in automated stamping, forming, and shearing operations. A safety version with On/Off switch to eliminate unintended operation is also available.
Automated fanner magnets are designed for high-volume, PLC-operated production lines. Unlike traditional sheet separators, an exclusive rack and pinion system rotates the magnet away from the unit face, totally eliminating any residual magnetic field and allowing for safer and more consistent movement of metal sheets.
Pneumatic automated fanner magnets utilize one of the basic laws of magnetics: like poles repel and opposites attract. By inducing “like” magnetic fields into a stack of steel sheets or plates, repelling forces are created from sheet to sheet, forcing them to separate. When a new stack is positioned, the magnet is turned on and sheeting fanning occurs, requiring no operator interface with the magnets.
The fanners are made from a powerful rare earth permanent magnet material with steel and stainless steel housing.
