Magnetic prisms

In clamping technology, magnetic prisms are used as devices or aids to fix or hold workpieces, especially when it comes to holding or machining workpieces in a specific position. Magnetic prisms use magnetic forces to hold workpieces securely while they are being machined or measured. Here is some important information about the role of magnetic prisms in clamping technology:

• Fixing workpieces: Magnetic prisms are used in clamping technology to hold workpieces in place on machine tables or other work surfaces. The magnetic holding force allows workpieces to be held securely in place without the need for additional clamps or fastening elements.
• Flexibility: Magnetic prisms are particularly useful when machining workpieces with complex shapes, irregular contours or thin sheets where conventional clamping methods may not be suitable.
• Precision: Magnetic prisms enable precise positioning of workpieces. This is crucial when high tolerances and accuracy requirements need to be met.
• Time saving: Compared to traditional clamping methods that require the application and removal of clamps or screws, magnetic prisms can significantly reduce set-up time as they can be positioned quickly and easily.
• Gentle surface treatment: As magnetic prisms hold the workpiece without physical contact, the surfaces of the workpiece are not damaged or scratched during the machining process.
• Customizability: There are different types of magnetic prisms with different shapes and sizes that can be tailored to the specific requirements of a particular application.
• It is important to note that magnetic prisms in clamping technology are not suitable for all types of workpieces. Workpieces must be made of magnetizable material for the magnetic force to be effective. In addition, they should not be used for high-temperature applications, as the magnetic force can decrease at high temperatures. The correct magnetic force and the correct positioning of the magnetic prisms ensure the safety and quality of the processing.
