The Wen Magnetics Division of WEN Technology Inc. has developed magnetic workholding modules that provide clamp-free cutting zones with five clear sides for milling operations. The company says its NeoGrid magnetic workholding systems use electrically switched, permanent magnets that receive power only during the process to switch them "on" or "off." Once in an "on" or "off" position, the rare-earth, permanent magnets remain in that state until they are switched. The company says h...
