Electromagnetic solutions could offer high workloads. But those units are not designed to operate in a high duty cycle environment, when continuously activated and deactivated, the winding of the electromagnet starts to heat and deteriorate. This after several month operations resulted in higher current consumptions and burned cables. 

The switchable magnet AR series offered by PES perfectly meets the above-mentioned expectations. They combine power and compactness for full structured bin picking capabilities.

Indeed, the robot shall slip into the parts to touch the magnet working surface that are hard to access but EOAT size is also critical for access in bin corners at different depths.
