Wagner Magnete Magnetic Systems and Machine Tooling

Wagner Magnete engineering solutions for high-precision machining

Since 1935 WAGNER MAGNETE GmbH & Co. KG in Heimertingen has developed and manufactured advanced magnetic tooling for milling, grinding and lathe machinery.

Core product programs comprise electro-permanent magnetic clamping plates and chucks that combine the reliability of permanent AlNiCo and NdFeB magnets with the convenience of electrical pulse control.

Magnetic workpiece holding eliminates bulky mechanical clamps that distort components and provides unobstructed five-sided tool clearance.

This substantially cuts machine tool changeover times, improves finished component geometry and extends milling tool life by absorbing machining vibration harmonics.

Electro-permanent magnetic clamping plates for CNC milling centers

Wagner Magnete clamping plates of series 1110 and 1120V serve high-speed milling operations on machine frames, mold plates and die tooling. Plates ensure firm contact across the entire workpiece mating face.

The electro-permanent design requires electrical power feed only for brief magnetization pulses lasting a few seconds, after which holding magnetic flux remains indefinitely without heating the bed.

For securing uneven workpieces, mobile and fixed pole extensions compensate for surface irregularities without creating mechanical stresses or part warpage upon demagnetization.

Precision magnetic chucks for grinding and turning machinery

Circular magnetic chucks of series 121 and 0126N are engineered for rotary surface grinders, cylindrical grinders and vertical turning lathes. Radial pole geometry secures thin rings, bearing races, discs and flanges without roundness distortion.

Zero steady electrical current through coils during machining prevents thermal expansion and ensures sub-micron surface tolerances. Chucks provide variable holding force adjustments for delicate workpiece centering prior to finish grinding passes.

Resilient epoxy and brass pole fillers protect internal copper coils against cutting fluids.

Industrial demagnetization technologies for components and tooling

Residual magnetism following machining, grinding or magnetic particle inspection causes metal swarf attraction, abrasive guideway wear and bearing breakdown. Wagner Magnete tunnel and inline demagnetizing systems of series 211 and 215 neutralize residual flux within automated production lines.

When treating heavy alloyed components or tool steels, low-frequency generators of series 244 decrease mains frequency down to 16 2/3 Hz. Deep penetration of alternating electromagnetic fields removes internal flux across thick sections to comply with strict quality thresholds.

Lifting magnets and spreader beams for steel and manufacturing plants

Electro-permanent lifting magnets and multi-arm spreader beams of series 5180N and 5190N provide safe factory transport for heavy steel plates, slabs, tubes and forged structural shapes. Magnetic lifting eliminates edge damage from chains and slings, enabling rapid single-operator crane rigging.

Proximity sensors evaluate workpiece contact and thickness prior to hoisting, locking motion if adhesion margins are inadequate. In the event of shop-floor electrical power failure, electro-permanent magnets retain full rated lifting capacity.

Modular spreader beams transport large plates without deflection.

Eddy current non-ferrous separators and recycling sorting plants

Non-ferrous metal separators of series 0438 with high-speed eccentric magnetic rotors extract aluminium and copper fractions from shredded municipal, industrial and electronic waste streams.

Eccentric rotor placement prevents fine ferrous particles from wrapping around the shell, protecting conveyor belts from premature failure.

Comprehensive sorting systems incorporate overbelt magnets series 0452E and high-intensity pulleys 0431NV utilizing rare-earth permanent magnets that recover weakly magnetic stainless steel fragments and fine wire from bulk material flows.
