Magnetic Sheet Separator
In the metalworking industry, magnetic sheet separators - also called sheet fanners or spreading magnets - are used for the safe and damage-free magnetic separation and removal of single sheets from a stack of metal sheets. The sheet separators are positioned on the side of the stack of sheets and direct a magnetic flux into the sheets. This results in a homopolar magnetization of the sheets, which then repel each other. The topmost sheet can now be safely removed as a single sheet. Sheet separators are successfully used for both manual and automatic removal.
