October 21–23, 2026
Las Vegas Convention Center | Las Vegas, NV
The countdown to FABTECH 2026 is on, and Magswitch is excited to return to Las Vegas to showcase the latest innovations in magnetic automation, robotic mobility, and material handling.
Whether you're looking to improve manufacturing efficiency, simplify deployment of collaborative robots, or enhance workplace safety, stop by the Magswitch booth to experience live demonstrations featuring our newest magnetic technologies designed for today's fabrication and automation challenges.
Introducing the Next Generation of Magnetic Bases
This year, we're proud to unveil our newest family of Magnetic Bases, engineered specifically for the growing automation needs of shipyards, structural fabrication, and heavy industrial environments.
Designed for flexibility, mobility, and ease of deployment, these new solutions allow manufacturers to position collaborative robots exactly where they're needed—without permanent mounting or time-consuming setup.
AutoLatch Magnetic Base
The AutoLatch Magnetic Base is a lightweight, ergonomic solution that enables a single operator to quickly deploy a cobot in virtually any orientation—including horizontal, vertical, or overhead applications.
Its three automatically engaging switchable permanent magnets provide a secure hold while integrated compliance compensates for uneven mounting surfaces, making installation faster and more reliable.
Key Features:
- Up to 1,400 lbs. of breakaway force
- Lightweight ergonomic design weighing just 13.8 lbs. (6.3 kg)
- Three switchable permanent magnets with automatic engagement
- Integrated compliance providing ±5° of pivot across multiple axes
- Compatible with standard IP67 digital I/O blocks
T-Beam Magnetic Base
Built specifically for structural steel applications, the T-Beam Magnetic Base allows users to quickly deploy collaborative robots directly on top of T-beams.
Featuring Magswitch's patented switchable magnetic wheel technology, operators can simply roll the base along the beam rather than repeatedly lifting and repositioning it—improving ergonomics while dramatically reducing setup time.
Key Features:
- Designed specifically for T-beam applications
- Patented switchable magnetic wheel technology
- Roll the robot and base smoothly along structural beams
- Quick, secure magnetic attachment
- Improves mobility, productivity, and operator safety
Material Handling Demonstrations
In addition to our automation solutions, we'll also be demonstrating our Cordless Electric (CE) Lifters and manual magnetic handling tools.
Designed to simplify lifting steel plates and heavy materials, these solutions eliminate the need for cumbersome cables, hoses, or compressed air while improving safety and productivity on the shop floor.
Demo Highlights
- Cordless Freedom – No cables or hoses—simply lift and move.
- Remote & Onboard Controls – Easy magnetic engagement and release.
- Safe & Ergonomic Operation – Reduce operator fatigue while improving material handling efficiency.
- Fast Deployment – Get to work quickly with portable magnetic lifting solutions.
