Ohio Magnetics Adds to Magnet Controller Product Line

Ohio Magnetics Inc., Maple Heights, Ohio, has added two new magnet controllers to its product line.

The MC-1.5 A and MC-2 A magnet controllers can provide users with faster magnet operation, according to Ken Rochendollar, Ohio Magnetics sales manager, as well as improved drops. They feature separately enclosed resistor assemblies and 230-volt DC operation /70-150 cold magnet amps range and are available in standard automatic or optional manual drop. Both models include a rugged case with heavy-duty interchangeable parts.

"These new magnet controllers are now available to customers along with our recently introduced Optimizer Series," John Wohlegmuth, general manager of Ohio Magnetics, says.

The Optimizer, Wohlegmuth says, “allows customers to control the overall electro-lifting magnet’s operation by adjusting the electric current and current duration times for all operating modes of the magnet, maximizing its performance, production and extending its service life.” He adds, “When using the Optimizer, a target current is set so the lifting magnet operates at the lowest possible temperature which provides improved magnet productivity, improved lifting capacity, reduced power consumption, reduced risk of damage from voltage spikes, reduced drop time, reduced cleaning time, fewer magnet change-outs and more."

Ohio Magnetics Inc. is a subsidiary company of HBD Industries Inc. HBD and its subsidiaries manufacture custom-designed and standard industrial products serving many diverse industries and markets.
