SMW Autoblok Group, a provider of workholding solutions for the industrial market since 1942, has acquired Tecnomagnete, a manufacturer of permanent electromagnetic clamping and lifting systems. Founded in 1974, Tecnomagnete invented the use of these types of magnetic systems to perfect a new way of holding and lifting parts and create a virtually fail-safe manufacturing environment.
Tecnomagnete, headquartered in Milan, Italy, has divisions located in the USA, Germany, France and China, and serves the manufacturing and material handling industries with products manufactured for sectors that include automotive, die and mold, oil & gas, energy, infrastructure, steel, shipbuilding, plastics and transportation.
"We are excited about acquiring Tecnomagnete and offering even more specialized workholding capabilities to help customers with their diverse manufacturing needs," said Larry Robbins, President of SMW Autoblok's Commercial Division. "Their technologies are a perfect complement to our growing product offering, and we look forward to what the future holds."
SMW Autoblok's new Mag Autoblok division includes a full line of permanent electromagnetic chucking systems for quick and flexible workholding on horizontal and vertical milling machines, vertical turning centers, FMS systems, grinding machines, EDMs, etc. A full line of magnetic lifters for loading and unloading workpieces is also offered.
