Magnetic Sheet Fanners
Magnetic Sheet Fanners separate stacked magnetic sheets such as mild steel, carbon steel and magnetic stainless steels like 3CR12. They create a magnetic field that causes sheets to fan apart, allowing safe one-at-a-time manual or robotic pick-up. These units reduce downtime, protect molds, improve worker safety and support efficient handling in metal fabrication, automotive, steel processing and sheet steel applications.
Magnetic Sheet Fanners Overview
Techco Power Engineering offers Magnetic Sheet Fanners in a wide range of sizes to suit your requirements. These units separate stacked magnetic sheets such as mild steel, carbon steel and magnetic stainless steels like 3CR12 by inducing a magnetic field that forces sheets to fan apart for safe manual or robotic pick-up.
Magnetic Sheet Fanners are used where stacked steel sheets bind together due to oil, weight or surface contact. They improve workflow, reduce manual handling, protect molds and improve operator safety in metal fabrication, automotive, steel processing and sheet steel environments.
Magnetic Sheet Fanners Overview
Magnetic Sheet Fanners separate stacked steel sheets quickly and safely, reducing downtime, protecting equipment and improving operator safety.
Improved Production Flow
Reduces interruptions caused by sheets sticking together during manufacturing, fabrication or forming operations.
Mold and Equipment Protection
Helps prevent multiple sheets from entering molds or equipment at the same time, reducing the risk of damage.
Manual and Robotic Pick-Up
Supports safe manual handling as well as robotic or automated sheet pick-up in production environments.
Why Use Magnetic Sheet Fanners
Sheet steel is often supplied with a thin protective oil layer that causes sheets to bind together over time, creating operational risks.
Damage to Molds
Married sheets entering a mold can cause deformation, tooling damage or costly production interruptions.
Worker Safety Hazards
Manual separation can expose operators to sharp edges, strain injuries and unsafe handling conditions.
Reduced Efficiency
Hand separation is slow, inconsistent and interrupts production flow.
Production Line Interruptions
Stacked sheets that fail to separate properly can delay forming, fabrication and automated handling processes.
Solution
Magnetic Sheet Fanners automatically fan sheets apart, enabling safe and efficient one-at-a-time pick-up.
