Off Position
Reduced Magnetic field
Maximum Magnetic force
In operation the workpiece is held down on the Ultrafine with very low magnetic field 2mm, therefore no influence on the spark erosion process, in other words no particles adhere to the workpiece.
Ultrafine magnetic chucks have the following advantages:-
- Silver brazed top plate for extra stability and accurate clamping.
- High clamping force:- 60 N/cm2 St37.
- Double ceramic magnetic system in combination with a very low concentrated magnetic field (2mm)
- The waterproof construction allows the Ultrafine to be submerged in the tank of Dielectric Fluid.
- Precision angled side rails for quick set.
- Light and handsome construction.
The magnetic force is infinitely variable from 0-100% “Quick setting of the workpiece”.
Saving Set Up Time
Without the right equipment the accurate positioning and clamping of workpieces on EDM machines is time consuming and costly. Machine operators and production managers are always looking to reduce these set up times. The latest development in this range is the Ultrafine.
A permanent magnetic chuck born from a combination of market information and knowledge of magnetic products.
Ultrafine is multi-functional
Why do we call the Ultrafine multi-functional? Because it is also suitable for high precision grinding. The ultra low magnetic field makes this chuck very special. We all know that clamping small and thin workpieces is very difficult and the special construction of the Ultrafine chuck will reduce these problems.
At last, after years of difficulties, the operator has a solution to these difficult problems.
Unit features
Every (4mm) narrow steel pole in the Ultrafine magnetic chuck is supported by a set of permanent ceramic magnets on both sides.
These are the same magnetic ceramic magnets used in the complete range of permanent magnetic chucks which are guaranteed never to lose their magnetic force. The solid construction of the Ultrafine gives high stability despite the 45mm height. The infinitely variable magnetic force of the Ultrafine even allows the operator to grind distorted workpieces accurately.
In conclusion the purchase of an Ultrafine chuck will greatly increase your possibilities on your expensive machinery and quickly pay for itself by the resultant savings.

MAGNETIC WORKHOLDING FOR GRINDING
ELECTRO-PERMANENT MAGNETIC CHUCKS
A range of powerful, reliable and waterproof Electro-Permanent magnetic chucks for all surface grinding applications.
The Electro-Permanent technology consists in changing the magnetic state of the chuck by means of short electric pulses. Once the pulses are completed the magnetic chuck keeps its new state, magnetized or demagnetized, even in case of power supply failure.
The advantages of Electro-Permanent technology are unquestionable:-
- SAFETY: The holding force is maintained even in case of power supply failure
- PRECISION: Without heating, the magnetic chuck keeps geometry.
- ECOLOGICAL: No continuous energy consumption.
EPEGRIP

FULL DEMAGNETIZATION
Electro-Permanent chucks integrate the full demagnetization concept. During demagnetization cycle, the Alnico magnets are completely demagnetized due to a series of decreasing electric impulses.
The full demagnetization permits to reach the lowest possible residual magnetism level in the workpiece, including the workpieces made of high-alloy steel.
