The separation of sheet iron and steel can cause major loss of time, particularly in the case of auto-matised production. Magnetic eclipse floaters solve this problem. Their functioning principle
is simple: the floaters are placed on opposite ends of the work pieces. The work pieces are magnetised by means of induction of the same polarity. This causes the two or three uppermost sheets of the pile to become mutually repellent and to float in the air. The front plate is made of non-magnetic, stainless steel.
