EPM-TE – Electro Permanent Magnetic Telescopic Plate Handling System

Applications

  • For loading/ unloading plates from Railway Wagons/ trucks.
  • For storing in Plate yards.
  • For feeding plates onto a flame/ plasma cutting machine table, one at a time.
  • Can be used with EOT/ Gantry/ Mobile Cranes etc.

Description

Features

 

  • EPMs suspended from spreader beam in which the length of the beam can be varied so that the maximum range of plates are covered.
  • Optimise the available work area by elimination of dunnage.
  • One set of EPM placed on the fixed part of the spreader beam and another set placed on the telescopic part.
  • The length of the system can be adjusted depending on the length of the plate being handled.
    • Shorter plates: activate only the inner magnets.
    • Medium plates: activate all the magnets with the telescopic arm in the closed position.
    • Long plates: activate all the magnets with the telescopic arm in the expanded position. Electronic control panel along with standby PCB card.
  • Double Mag Cycle – this ensures the safe lifting of the load.
  • Power Control – Magnetic Power can be varied in 4 steps.
  • Safety Interlock Key – to Magnetize/ Demagnetize 2 buttons are to be pressed simultaneously. This eliminates the chance of accidental operation of the magnet.
  • “Inching” feature –When the magnet is switched ON, it might lift more than a single plate. Inching is a feature, which when invoked reduces the magnetic power slowly such that additional plates, if lifted, are dropped. This is used to make sure that only one plate is handled at a time.
  • ADPREM – Accidental Demagnetization Prevention Mechanism. Disable the demagnetization cycle when carrying load.
  • Lamp Block – Displays the systems present state.
  • Chain and Hanging Arrangement – made of grade 80 high strength steel along with bull ring.
