Transporter® Low Profile
The air-actuated Transporter® Low Profile (TPLP) magnetically transfers metal blanks, stampings, and parts in automated station-to-station, press-to-press transfer, and robotic pick and place systems. Typical applications include stamped parts, tailor-welded blanks, body panels, and refrigerator door panels.
OVERVIEW
The Transporter® Low Profile is designed to directly replace vacuum cups with minor tooling and valve adjustments. Powerful rare earth magnets positively hold the parts during transfer, greatly reducing the chance of slipping and shifting of your part due to oily coatings. An optional "low-skid" boot is also available to increase grip on parts during transfer. A short burst of shop air pressure is applied to release parts. To pick up or grip parts, the air pressure must be exhausted to the atmosphere.
Transporter® Low Profile Options
De-stacking (Option DS): The de-stacking option is required for applications de-stacking metal that is thinner than .0478" (18 ga) with the TPLP30 model. The de-stack option features a special magnetic circuit that is designed to de-stack sheets as thin as .030" (22ga). The optional low-skid boot is required for certain applications.
Double Acting (Option DA): Features O-Ring seals & extra air inlet that allow a short blast of air to engage or disengage the grip function. The double-acting option is only available on the TPL30 & TPLP50 magnets. Operates at a low pressure of 20 psi (30 psi maximum), allows use of 1/4" Lines & can run up to 16 magnets from 1 valve
3/8 BSPP Fitting (Option BS): 3/8 British Standard Pipe Parallel Thread, available on TPLP30 models only.
