Unlocking Efficiency: The Power of Magswitch's Variable Flux Output (VFO) Technology

Revolutionizing EOAT with Adjustable Magnetism

Precision and efficiency are paramount in robotics and automation. The introduction of Magswitch E-tools, featuring the innovative Variable Flux Output (VFO), marks a significant leap forward in End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT). This groundbreaking technology allows for adjustable magnetism, allowing robots to perform single-part picks from a pile of components seamlessly.

Enhancing Precision in Component Picking

Picking a small piece from a bin filled with thousands of parts has always been challenging in automated systems. Without the Variable Flux Output, this task could disrupt overall process throughput. Magswitch’s VFO technology, however, ensures that the robot can extract small pieces with unparalleled precision. The ability to adjust the magnetic field strength means that even the most challenging automated tasks are executed flawlessly.

Overcoming Vision Guidance Limitations

Vision-guided robots often face the issue of consistently targeting the center of a bin, inadvertently creating holes that impair future picking operations. Magswitch’s VFO addresses this problem by allowing the magnetic gripper to oversaturate a single part, successfully retrieving an entire pile of components. As the robot exits the bin, the VFO technology enables the reduction of the magnetic field, causing any extra parts to drop off and redistribute evenly. This unique approach eliminates the need for shaker tables or the labor-intensive process known as “stirring the pot.”

Versatility Across Different Tools

Whether the task requires the agility of the Magswitch E30 or the power of the E50 tool, VFO technology offers unmatched versatility. The ability to vary the magnetic field by any percentage is a significant advantage over traditional technologies like electro-permanent magnets (EPM) or electromagnets. This adaptability ensures that Magswitch tools can easily handle a wide range of applications.

Conclusion: A New Era of Efficiency

Magswitch’s Variable Flux Output technology is a game-changer in automation and robotics. Providing adjustable magnetism enhances precision, overcomes common challenges in component picking, and offers versatility across various tools. As industries continue to seek more efficient and reliable solutions, Magswitch VFO stands out as a key innovation driving the future of EOAT.
