The use of manual permanent magnets in machinists is mainly as a clamping tool for handling and fixing workpieces. The following are some of the common ways that manual permanent magnets are used in robots:
Clamping and Handling: Manipulators can be equipped with manual permanent magnets as part of a fixture for clamping and handling various types of workpieces. Manual permanent magnets utilize magnetic force to attract the surface of the workpiece, providing a stable clamping force that allows the robot to accurately handle the workpiece and place it in the target position.
Holding and Positioning: Manual permanent magnets can be used to hold and position workpieces in the robot during assembly or machining. By attaching the hand-operated permanent magnets to the workpiece, the manipulator ensures that the workpiece remains stable and can be accurately positioned and manipulated.
Continuous clamping: Manual permanent magnets can also be used when the robot needs to hold a workpiece for a long period of time. The force of the hand-operated permanent magnets can be maintained continuously, without additional energy or constant control, allowing the manipulator to hold the workpiece as long as needed until the job is completed.
Multi-part clamping: The manual permanent magnets in the manipulator can be designed to hold multiple parts at the same time. This is useful for applications where multiple workpieces need to be handled at the same time, such as batch machining or manufacturing processes on an assembly line.
The use of manual permanent magnets in manipulators enhances the handling capabilities and application range of the manipulator by providing stable gripping force and flexibility. They can accommodate workpieces of various shapes, sizes and weights and enable efficient and precise handling and fixturing operations.
