Tweco Switchable Magnetic SMLM 60 Lifter with pivot handle helps to reduce material handling time.
Victor Technologies offers the Tweco Switchable magnetic product range designed to enable metal fabricators to pick, pack and clamp steel sheet, plate, tube and pipe with greater efficiency, convenience and safety.
Tweco can be used to lift up or pick, pack and clamp base metal in place. Tweco Switchable magnetic products use powerful rare earth magnets where users can manually switch the magnetic field on and off with a simple twist of a knob.
The Tweco Switchable magnetic product line currently features five products in three categories:
- Multi-angle products for workholding (welding, cutting, drilling, grinding and beveling). The SMMA 300 model weighs 1.2 lbs., features a 150 lb. magnet, a 300 AMP ground connection for welding and workholding angles of 45/135, 60/120, 75/105 and 90°. The SMMA 400 features a 400 lb. magnet, the same workholding angles, holds both round and flat shapes and doubles as a quick connect vise.
- Lifter products to pick, pack, slide and reposition steel, ideal for dragging sheet, stacking and destacking, pulling parts out of a burn table or handling scrap. The SMLM 60 features a 60 lb. magnet and a pivot handle so operators can safely move hot, sharp or dirty steel without touching it. The SMLH 600 features a heavy-duty swivel hook to hoist steel weighing up to 200 lbs.
- 90° right angle product to hold flat or round parts at a 90° right angle, making it useful for code work and precision welding or cutting, including automated plasma cutting. The SMRA 400 features two rails that pivot on a center point and 400 lb. magnets that can be added, repositioned and reversed for inside or outside 90° angles.
"By incorporating Tweco Switchable magnetic products into their operation, fabricators can reduce material handling time, simplify workholding and improve part alignment in a safe way," said Indy Datta, Brand Management, Victor Technologies.
Applications include those in manufacturing, steel distributors, mechanical contractors, construction, mining, railcar, ship building, oil and gas, military, automotive and light fabrication industries.
