Magswitch Technologies Unveils Plug-And-Play E Series Magnetic Grippers at FABTECH 2025

Superior, Colorado – July 18, 2025 – Magswitch Technologies is proud to introduce the latest evolution in magnetic gripping: the Plug-And-Play E Series, featuring the all-new PPe30 and PPe50. These electrically actuated switchable permanent magnets are engineered for precision, simplicity, and integration, ready to plug into any standard I/O block without the complexity of pneumatics.

Designed with automation engineers in mind, the PPe30 and PPe50 combine powerful magnetic gripping with smart sensing in a compact, rugged housing ideal for robotic applications, fixturing, and more.

Visitors to FABTECH will experience a working demo cell highlighting the real-world capabilities of these tools:

• PPe30 on KUKA KR6 Robot- With custom-designed pole shoes, the PPe30 handles diverse tasks on three different sides of the magnet:
• Bottom: Lifts a difficult-to-grip nail plate.
• West side: Locates a small bracket via a positioning pin.
• East side: Secures a threaded rod using a V-cut design.
• PPe50 for Fixturing- Showcased holding signage in place, the PPE50 demonstrates unmatched performance in single-sided workholding, offering a clean, cable-free design with no moving parts — simplifying EOAT design and eliminating failure points.

Key Features:

• Electrically Actuated, Pneumatic-Free Design
  Simple, direct actuation from a 24V I/O block.
• Fail-Safe ON + Part Present Sensing
  Magnets stay on in the event of power loss and will not activate unless in contact with ferrous material.
• High Performance in Challenging Applications
  Ideal for robotics, de-stacking, fixturing, and gripping non-flat or irregular surfaces with optional custom pole shoes.
• Compact and Configurable
  Features multiple mounting patterns, integrated sensing, and peak breakaway forces up to 464 lb. (2066 N) for the PPe50.

“The PPe series represents a big leap forward in our mission to simplify automation,” said Joe Cyrek, President of Magswitch Automation. “Whether you're fixturing or handling odd-shaped parts, these tools make smart magnetic gripping truly plug-and-play.”
