 Magnetic Sheet Lifters
 
The Magnetic Sheet/Plate Lifter de-stacks steel sheets from pallets, racks and more. The unique design of this permanent magnetic lifting system allows one person to safely and effectively move and load sheets onto cutting tables, shear beds and other fabrication equipment. The Magnetic Sheet/Plate Lifter features a series of adjustable position permanent magnetic lifting heads to lift a wide variety of sheet lengths and widths. These permanent magnets require a simple burst of shop air to release the sheets/plates.
 
Applications
  • Loading cutting tables, shears, welding cells, etc
  • Moving steel sheets or plates from pallets or racks to a work station

Benefits
  • Reliability of a permanent magnet with the On/Off capabilities of an electromagnet
  • Only requires shop air to attach or release the magnet, not during the lift
  • Failsafe design (No battery backup required)
  • Adjustable magnet positions lift a wide variety of sheet lengths and widths
  • Won't drop load during power outage or system air loss
  • No heat build-up

Operation Requirements
  • Minimum sheet size: 4' x 6'
  • Maximum sheet size: 5' x 12'
  • Minimum shop air pressure of input of 80 psi

 Magnetic Tube Lifters
 
IMI's new Magnetic Tube Lifter is designed to assist in stacking, destacking, loading and unloading for a variety of tube and pipe applications. This is a permanent magnet that requires a simple burst of shop air to release the row of tube or pipe. In the result of a loss of shop air, the Tube Lifter is designed to remain in a "failure safe" mode, without the need for a battery backup system; simply put, the magnet will not drop the tube or pipe, ensuring safer working conditions. The Tube Lifter is ideal for hydroforming, roll-forming, packing, cutting or tube and pipe fabrication applications.
 
Benefits
  • Works on round, square & custom shaped tubing
  • Operates on shop air from 60 to 80 psi
  • Destacks nested tubing
  • Reduces cycle times in many tube handling applications
  • Failsafe design (No battery backup required)

Features
  • Powerful, rare earth magnetic circuit
  • Stainless steel housing
  • 100mm air cylinders with 3/8" NPT ports
  • Bearing guided cylinder shafts
  • Unique magnetic circuit prevents tubes from rolling or shifting during transport

Options
  • Available with custom cylinders, magnetic circuits and pick-up points
  • Spreader system for mounting magnets
  • Protective magnet covers for polished, plated & painted tubing

 Gorbel Lifts
 
IMI is a proud distributor of Gorbel's Easy Arm™ Intellligent Lift - a lifting device and articulating jib all in one. The Easy Arm is able to deliver simple intuitive operation, natural movement, pinpoint precision and a wide range of speeds. Combining the responsiveness and flexibility of a human operator, plus the power and endurance of a machine, the Easy-Arm with G-Force technology is faster and more precise than hoists and more responsive and durable that air balancers and vacuum tube lifters.
 
The Easy Arm™ improves safety, productivity and quality and is ideal for lifting applications that involve:
  • Reaching into a work cell or around obstructions
  • Reaching under overhead obstructions like conveyors or exhaust hoods
  • Reaching into machines
  • High cycle pick and place
  • Loading/Unloading machined parts
  • Moving products around a workcell
  • Palletizing and depalletizing

Pinpoint Precision: The Easy Arm™ delivers unparalled precision at speeds from less than 1 fpm(0.3 mpm) up to 150 fpm(46 mpm), giving the operator the control necessary to finesse expensive or fragile parts.
 
Infinite Speed Control: The Easy Arm™ moves as fast or as slow as the operator chooses to move. It is ideal for applications that require high speed at some points in the cycle and slow, precise movements at other points.
 
Available in Two Convenient Configurations: The Easy Arm™ is available in either Free-Standing or Ceiling or Platform mounted configurations. The free standing models are easy to relocate and do not put stress on the building's overhead structure. Ceiling or platform mounted Easy Arms free up valuable floor space and can service multiple work stations.
 
Options
  • Float Mode
  • Portable Base
  • Tooling
  • Optional Handles
