Cobot-Ready Magnetic Solutions with Magswitch
Magswitch helps integrators and manufacturers deploy cobots faster with switchable magnetic mounting solutions and magnetic end-of-arm tooling built for real production environments.
From portable automation cells to welding, inspection, and material handling applications, our cobot-ready solutions make it easier to mount, move, and reconfigure automation without complex setup. Magnetic bases create a strong, repeatable hold on ferrous surfaces, while our EOAT tools help support efficient picking, handling, and flexible cell design.
Why it works
Magswitch MagBase and EOAT solutions are designed to anchor quickly on flat and curved steel surfaces and handle parts efficiently, reducing setup time and giving cobot users stable, power-free mounting and flexible tooling options for dynamic production environments. Whether you are building a fixed automation cell or a portable setup that moves between stations, switchable magnetic technology makes it faster to deploy, reposition, and scale.

Magswitch tooling with Impaqt integrations
Watch how Magswitch magnetic solutions work alongside Impaqt's pneumagiQ interface in a real cobot cell, from mounting to end-of-arm tooling.
Accelerate cobot deployment with magnetic tooling and cleaner EOAT integration
Magswitch advanced magnetic solutions pair with Impaqt's pneumagiQ interface to help integrators deploy cobots faster, reduce integration complexity, and build cleaner automation cells.
Accelerated Deployment
pneumagiQ helps simplify the connection between the cobot and end-of-arm tooling, reducing external routing and helping teams move from concept to working cell faster. When paired with Magswitch tooling, it supports a more streamlined path to deployment for machine tending, part handling, and other production tasks.
Cleaner EOAT Design
One of the biggest advantages of the partnership is a cleaner, more compact end effector setup. Magswitch magnetic tools provide strong part handling performance, while pneumagiQ helps reduce hose clutter and external complexity at the wrist, creating a more organized and production-ready cobot arm.
Built to Scale
Not every cobot application is a fit for magnetic gripping alone. For non-ferrous parts such as aluminum, Impaqt gives Magswitch customers another practical path forward. That means your team can approach a wider range of applications with a more flexible automation toolkit and a stronger overall solution.
Featured Impaqt Product
pneumagiQ
A universal pneumatic interface designed to simplify pneumatic tooling integration and reduce external valve and tubing complexity on collaborative robot arms.
- Streamlined pneumatic routing
- Cleaner wrist and EOAT integration
- Ideal for machine tending and handling applications
How it supports Magswitch customers: pneumagiQ helps expand the types of cobot applications your team can solve, including non-ferrous handling opportunities where magnetic gripping is not the right fit.

FAQ
Common questions about cobot integration
Everything you need to know about deploying Magswitch and Impaqt solutions on your cobot.
What types of cobots are compatible with Magswitch MagBase mounting solutions?
Magswitch MagBase solutions are designed to work with a wide range of collaborative robots, including popular platforms from Universal Robots, FANUC, and others. The MagBase 5 is suited for lighter cobots up to 5kg payload, while the MagBase 10 2.0 supports larger cobots requiring more rigid holding power. Both require a flat or curved ferrous steel surface for mounting.
How does the Magswitch and Impaqt partnership benefit my cobot setup?
Together, Magswitch and Impaqt cover more of your cobot tooling needs in a single integrated approach. Magswitch provides strong, switchable magnetic mounting and end-of-arm tooling for ferrous parts, while Impaqt's pneumagiQ interface simplifies pneumatic connections and reduces wrist clutter. The result is a cleaner, faster-to-deploy automation cell with fewer integration headaches.
Does the MagBase require power to maintain its hold on a surface?
No. Magswitch MagBase solutions use switchable permanent magnet technology, which means the magnetic field is fully contained and requires no power to hold. Power is only needed momentarily to switch the magnet on or off. This makes MagBase a safe, energy-efficient option for cobot workstations where power interruptions are a concern.
What is pneumagiQ and how does it integrate with Magswitch tooling?
pneumagiQ is a universal pneumatic interface developed by Impaqt that simplifies how pneumatic tools connect to collaborative robot arms. It reduces external hose routing and valve complexity at the wrist, creating a cleaner and more compact end effector. When paired with Magswitch magnetic EOAT, it allows integrators to build versatile cobot setups that handle both magnetic and pneumatic tooling from a single, well-organized arm configuration.
Where can I buy Impaqt products, and does Magswitch provide integration support?
Impaqt products, including the pneumagiQ interface, are available directly through the Magswitch store. Our team can also help you identify the right combination of Magswitch and Impaqt products for your specific cobot application. If you have questions about compatibility or integration, reach out to our sales team and we will connect you with the right resources.
