Since March 1, 2010 our headquarter is located in Essen.
From 26.-30. October 2010 ThyssenKrupp Magnettechnik is represented at the world's largest sheet metal working exhibition.
Please visit our stand E22 in exhibition hall 16!
In case of electromagnetic spreaders
the magnetic flux is not generated by permanent magnets, but
by coils (solenoids). Depending on the arrangement (two- pole
or three- pole) two or three coils are applied. The kind of
operation is the same as with permanent magnetic spreaders,
however with some restrictions to be explained below.
It has to be stated first that the spreading effect is not
the same from the lower edge to the upper edge of the spreading
magnet, because the end windings of the coils cause a thinning
of the lines of electric field strength and thus a reduced
magnetic flux. This becomes noticeable by a reduced spreading
performance at the lower and upper ends of the system. In
order to compensate this effect as far as possible, a iron
strip is attached to the magnetic pole surrounded by the coil;
this strip exceeds the end windings and extends the lines
of magnetic flux to the lower edge of the system.
Spreading power in dependence of the covered piling height
A further effect of the reduced spreading performance is to be seen in the fact that the sheets already lying on the pile have the same effect as a magnetic short- circuit and reduce the spreading performance in the upper part of the system. This phenomenon can be reduced by grooving the centre pole; thus the effect of the magnetic short- circuit is nearly eliminated. In case of permanent magnetic spreaders the short circuit is of minor importance, because the relative permeability µr is near 1 and thus the magnet is stable even in the upper part. The relative permeability at the iron poles is near 200 which makes the guidance of the lines of magnetic flux ‘softer’.
Electromagnetic spreaders are in principle electromagnets with special designed poles. Their dimensions start with a width of 100mm, whereas the system height, due to the special purpose, reaches from 130mm up to 600mm. The depth of the system or the thickness is restricted in normal case to less than 100mm. The max. system width referring to a system with four poles can reach up to about 400mm. In this case, the spreaders are able to fan sheet up to a thickness of 8mm.
