4.4 Description
The product serves as an interface for higher-level controlling for
the actuation of electro-permanent magnetic grippers of type
EGM. Depending on the size, the product can actuate up to
32 magnetic grippers. A simple connection of several magnets is
possible using a junction box. This can be positioned freely in the
field.
The sizes of the product are designed for work with the following
magnetic grippers:
• ECG 01: Small monopolar EGM
• ECG 02: Bipolar EGM and large monopolar EGM
The variants of the product differ in the following characteristics:
• ECG-C:
The product works with constant power. The connected
magnetic gripper is always activated with the maximum
achievable holding force.
• ECG-C:
The product works with selectable power levels. Before
activating the connected magnetic gripper, one of 8 available
holding force levels is set. In the "Magnetized" state the holding
force level can be increased. A low holding force can only be
configured after demagnetization.
• ECG-W:
The product works with constant power and is equipped with a
relay that ensures all poles of the connected magnetic gripper
are disconnected after every activation. This enables the
deployment of the magnetic gripper in combination with
welding operations on the held workpiece. The connected
magnetic gripper is always activated with the maximum
achievable holding force.
