Power Matrix Electro-permanent Magnets
The Power Matrix, a high-performance, electro-permanent magnetic chuck, offers exceptional power, with 150 ton / m² of
magnetic pull, enabling huge holding forces to be generated on even modest-sized workpieces. Stepped or shaped
workpieces are easily and effectively clamped with optional pole extensions. Power Matrix provides a cost effective way of
workholding, enabling users to easily machine a number of faces in one single operation.
Use Power Matrix to:
• Increase feed rates and metal removal.
• Extend insert and tool life by reducing vibration and chatter Improve product surface finish.
• Machine non-stop - no need to move manual clamps during machining.
• Clamp consistently and uniformly every time: 150 tons / m².
• Dramatically reduce clamping time - magnetic clamping at the push of a button.
• Increase productivity from your existing machines.
• Improve safety - failsafe permanent magnet holds the load even when the power is cut.
Clamping made easy:
• Power Matrix provides a uniform clamping force over the entire area of the workpiece, reducing vibration.
• Clamping is on a single face of the workpiece so the other five faces are clear to machine.
• Stepped or shaped pieces can be accommodated with simple pole extensions.
• A full range of standard tooling options is available, including angle plates that will transfer the magnetism through 90º.
• Moving pole extensions allow uneven or distorted components to be clamped without further distortion.
Square Pole Technology:
Each pole is a cube: the top face is the working area; the other five sides are clad with magnet material. This creates a
chuck that performs better than any other, producing the highest clamping forces possible for the pole size.
Electro-permanent design:
Power Matrix uses two types of permanently magnetic material. When the chuck is on, the magnetic fields of the materials
are in opposition, sending the magnetic force through the top face, clamping the workpiece. To turn off the chuck, the
polarity of one of the magnet materials is reversed electronically. This forms a different magnetic circuit, effectively holding
the magnetism inside the chuck. The electronic current is used only to switch the chuck on or off. Switching takes a
fraction of a second. This chuck is failsafe, meaning that if electric power is lost while a workpiece is held, it remains held.
Advanced clamping:
Multiple parts can be loaded simultaneously to increase efficiency. Specialized tooling can be offered to nest components
for high production applications. Power Matrix can be supplied with specialized configurations including tombstones,
bolsters and others to suit your needs.
