3630 forum posts 128 photos | Half of a magnetic sheet floater. Used in pairs with the unpainted sides vertical and facing each other to magnetically separate stacks of thin sheet, transformer laminations and similar. Slide the stack between them and the upper few sheets fan out upwards so you can grab the top one. Number of sheets lifted depends on weight so will lift more from a stack of small thin ones than large thick ones. Yours may be the largest size. Still made and not cheap. Hundreds £ a pair.

![]() 2110 forum posts 565 photos | I used to make sheet feeders for metal box company and there were a few of these on each unit. The pre printed sheets were stacked on the feeder, paint side down,and the top sheet was picked up with vacuum suckers and lifted forward between the magnets to stop the paintwork being scratched into the press tool to make a box or tray etc. David Edited By David George 1 on 15/11/2022 20:46:18 |
