Switchable Sheet Fanners

• 7″ wide face plate produces a stronger fanning action suited to larger blanks and thicker gauge steel.
• Conventional pneumatic cylinder rotates a two-pole Rare Earth magnetic element mounted at a pivot point set close to the side of the housing. With this side-pivot geometry, rotating the magnet just 90 degrees faces it toward a built-in shorting circuit to cancel the external field

Bunting Switchable Sheet Fanners are available in Generation I and Generation II models, both of which can be “turned off” to avoid accidents while being resupplied with sheets. Both models are patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,481,706) and outfitted with powerful Rare Earth magnets for outstanding separation performance. Both feature reliable pneumatic mechanisms to turn the magnetic field on and off.

• Designed for automation lines for fanning sheets on robotic lines.
• Fanners are switchable, and can be turned on or off to place a new stack of sheets in position or to remove a stack of sheets.
• When fanners are turned off, they become completely non-magnetic, allowing for safe sheet movement.
