Yes, absolutely. MAGBAT’s electro-permanent magnetic modules are designed for seamless integration in automated environments. Whether it’s robotic welding, gantry systems, or pick-and-place applications, MAGBAT solutions support faster, safer, and smarter production.
Why automation needs magnetic technology
In industrial automation, consistency, safety, and speed are non-negotiable. Traditional mechanical grippers or vacuum-based solutions often struggle with irregular shapes, sensitive materials, or heavy ferrous parts.
That’s where magnetic modules offer a clear advantage:
- Contactless and damage-free handling
- Pas de magnétisme résiduel
- Suitable for a wide range of materials and shapes
- Safe clamping, even during power loss
Electro-permanent magnets combine the best of both worlds: they generate a strong holding force using permanent magnets but switch states with a short electrical pulse, allowing complete control via your PLC or robot interface.
Seamless integration in robot arms
MAGBAT’s electro-permanent magnetic grippers for robot arms are lightweight, compact, and built for high-speed robot operations. The modules can be:
- Mounted directly on robotic arms
- Controlled via standard PLC systems
- Operated 24/7 with short magnetization cycles (±1 second)
These features make them ideal for use in:
- Laser cutting automation
- Robotic welding lines
- Smart assembly stations
The benefit? Minimal downtime, zero maintenance, and no risk of dropped parts, even in the event of a power failure.
Gantry robots and large-scale automation
For large workpieces or heavy-duty lines, MAGBAT offers magnetic grippers specially designed for gantry robots. These solutions:
- Handle parts of various shapes and weights
- Clamp securely without damaging the surface
- Reduce cycle time significantly
All systems are custom-built to fit your dimensions, weight class, and safety requirements. You choose the layout, we configure the magnet modules accordingly.
Magnetic modules for welding automation
Welding cells benefit massively from magnetic workholding. MAGBAT modules provide:
- A stable, hands-free environment
- Localized magnetic fields that don’t interfere with welds
- Quick switching between setups
Thanks to their low energy consumption and long life, these modules are perfect for continuous use in automated welding applications.
What makes MAGBAT ideal for automation?
- Custom engineering: every automation line is different. MAGBAT develops tailor-made magnet systems to match your project, from size and clamping force to control integration.
- Fail-safe technology: even in case of power loss, your part stays in place. The magnet only needs power to switch, not to hold.
- Maintenance-free design: no moving parts. No coil heating. No residual magnetism. Just reliable clamping, every time.
- Compact and lightweight: the optimized weight of each module ensures they don’t overload robotic arms or gantries, maximizing load capacity and speed.
Ready to take automation to the next level?
MAGBAT’s magnetic automation modules are already transforming production lines across Europe, from wind turbine manufacturing and automotive assembly to robotic welding and heavy-duty material handling.
