Magnetic Workholding

Product catalog summary

Magnetic Workholding Overview
TE-CO provides a range of magnetic workholding solutions designed to enhance machining efficiency and flexibility. These solutions include pole extensions and MagVISE electro-permanent magnetic chucks, which are suitable for various machining operations such as drilling, milling, and boring.

Pole Extensions
Pole extensions can be mounted and machined for specific applications, offering flexibility in handling diverse workholding tasks. They are particularly useful for 5-sided machining and through-hole drilling, and can accommodate warped or uneven stock using spring adjusting pole extensions.

MagVISE Electro-Permanent Magnetic Chucks
These chucks are ideal for medium to large workpieces and offer several benefits:

Reduced setup time with uniform holding power.
Capability for 5-sided machining and through-hole drilling in one setup.
Minimized tool chatter and improved surface finish and tool life.
Power is only needed for clamping and unclamping, maintaining hold even during power outages.
Ability to gang multiple workpieces for increased productivity.
Integration with pallet changing and FMS systems.
Suitable for horizontal machining and odd-shaped workpieces.

Note: Minimum workpiece thickness is 1/2”.

Application Examples
The document provides a detailed table of various part numbers, dimensions, number of poles, amps, and weights for different magnetic chucks, illustrating their application in various machining scenarios.

Magnetic Workholding Blocks
These blocks offer custom workholding solutions without high costs, featuring:

Fast load and unload times.
No power requirement.
Machinable soft jaws for custom fixturing.
Modular system that can grow with user needs.
Maintenance-free operation.

Note: Holding power depends on workpiece size and is not suitable for non-ferrous materials or thin workpieces.

Application Worksheet
The worksheet provides guidelines for calculating workpiece contact surface area, maximum stock removal, feed rate, depth of cut, and cutting tool diameter. It emphasizes the importance of covering at least four poles for maximum holding power and a minimum workpiece thickness of 0.4”.
