Magswitch MagBase Family: Flexible Magnetic Mounting Solutions for Every Environment

In the ever-evolving world of automation, collaborative robots (cobots) are reshaping how work gets done — from factory floors to field-based repair sites. At the foundation of many of these robotic applications, there is a need for strong, flexible, and reliable mounting solutions. Enter the Magswitch MagBase Family: a powerful lineup of magnetic bases that simplify how you mount, move, and automate across a wide range of industries.

At the heart of this family is the Magswitch MagBase 10, a compact yet powerful solution designed specifically for cobot mounting. With a wide magnetic footprint and pivoting magnets, the MagBase 10 ensures secure attachment on both flat and cylindrical ferrous surfaces, making it ideal for dynamic applications, such as assembly, inspection, and welding. With over 1,300 pounds of holding force on 0.25-inch steel and exceeding 2,000 pounds on thicker materials, it provides unmatched grip and confidence in high-demand environments.

What sets the MagBase 10 apart is its field versatility. Whether you are working in a structured factory environment or performing vertical welds on the side of a ship, the MagBase 10 anchors cobots quickly and securely — no external power required. Its manually activated magnet system includes insulated pivot points to prevent unintended grounding, protecting robotic systems from electrical faults. It is the go-to solution for integrators and welders looking to reduce setup time while boosting precision and safety.

 But the innovation does not stop there. The MagBase Family includes multiple solutions tailored for different applications:

·   MagBase 5: Designed for smaller cobots, like Universal Robots’ UR3 and UR5, this base offers a lightweight, stable platform that installs in seconds. Ideal for light-duty tasks or portable automation cells.

·   MagWing 10: Featuring two pivoting magnet arms, the MagWing 10 spreads the magnetic load over a wider surface, enhancing stability on curved or irregular materials. Perfect for applications requiring enhanced coverage and reduced peel force.

·   Power Feeder Mount: This mount brings Magswitch magnetic technology to woodworking and fabrication shops, providing a strong and adjustable base for mounting power feeders to steel surfaces.

 Whether you're outfitting a robot cell, automating a workstation, or performing on-site repairs, the MagBase Family delivers flexibility, strength, and fast integration. Each product is engineered with Magswitch’s patented magnetic technology, ensuring reliable performance without the need for external power or complex setups.
