3-3.Gripping force
Holding conditions.
To lift workpieces vertically, be sure to take into consideration the acceleration rate, air pressure,
impact etc., in addition to the mass of the workpieces.
Consider the center of gravity of the workpiece to avoid moments being applied the magnet gripper
as much as possible.
If multiple magnet grippers are used for transferring a workpiece with a large surface area, properly
allocate the magnet grippers to maintain balance.
Horizontal movement of the magnet gripper may cause sideslip of the workpiece depending on the
acceleration or friction coefficient between the pad and workpiece. Therefore, the acceleration rate
of the lateral movement must be minimized.
Use the magnet gripper for horizontal handling. Adequate safety factor needs to be considered for
inclined handling or vertical handling
.
Thin workpieces may be deformed during transportation. It is recommended to use multiple
magnet grippers for scenarios such as this.
