Patented technology

The innovative permanent-electro technology developed by MAG-AUTOBLOK TECNOMAGNETE ensures the best performance of magnetic workholding systems, to maximise the productivity of industrial plants.

50 years of research and development

For over 40 years MAG-AUTOBLOK TECNOMAGNETE has been a pioneer in the development of permanent-electro magnetic systems that put magnetism, a safe and unlimited strength, at the service of the needs of holding the workpieces on company machine tools.

Our products stand out on the market because they are conceived with an innovative construction and design, as well as highly energy efficient magnetic circuits in support of environmental sustainability and energy saving.

Modern machine tools, sophisticated machining centres and technological tools are designed to produce a greater number of high quality parts in the shortest possible time. The safe, uniform and deformation-free holding of the workpiece, its fast positioning and access to all faces are fundamental aspects for enhancing the performance of the entire process and speeding up the return on investment for our customers.

Moderne macchine utensili, sofisticati centri di lavoro e utensili tecnologici sono progettati per produrre un maggior numero di pezzi d’alta qualità nel minor tempo possibile. Il bloccaggio sicuro, uniforme e senza deformazione del pezzo da lavorare, il suo posizionamento veloce ed il libero accesso dell’utensile su tutte le facce sono aspetti fondamentali per esaltare le prestazioni dell’intero processo e velocizzare il ritorno dell’investimento dei nostri clienti.

The advantages of our permanent-electro magnetic system

Revolutionary ideas applied to the world of magnetism

Countless machine tools, plastic moulding and injection machines, metal stamping presses and production processes around the world take advantage of the “magnetic” advantages of our solutions, applied today to various sectors such as Automotive, Oil & Gas, Energy, Infrastructure, Steel Industry, Shipbuilding and Transport. We have a history of research, optimisation and innovation, which year after year has materialised on the market in the form of technological goals that have defined the future of the sector.

2009

2010

Double-acting encapsulated mobile extensions RMP patent
With their circular shape and integrated threaded pin, the RMP patented mobile extensions allow easy and quick positioning without the use of tools and with no risk of mistakes. A design engineered to protect internal parts against coolant and chips

Patented self-locking GRIP magnetic technology
The GRIP function guarantees perfect workholding uniformity between the machine table, the magnetic equipment and the workpiece, making them a single body. The GRIP function is available only from TECNOMAGNETE MAG-AUTOBLOK and enhances workholding uniformity, cancels machining vibrations and extends the life of tools
