Wire Coils

The SGM solution is a substantial progress compared to the “C” hooks.

It is possible to handle wire coils in line up to 5 m length or side by side.

The handling operation of wire coils can be carried out by a single operator from the crane cabin or by remote control. This is not possible when using C-hooks as either an additional operator is needed in order to direct the crane operator on centring the wire coil or the crane operator himself will have to verify the centring operation all that leading to longer handling times which do not take place in safe conditions.

The use of an electro magnet results in an important reduction of damages to the wire coils with respect to the use of C-hooks. The only point of contact is between the wire coil upper surface and the duly shaped pole shoes of the magnet.

Designed for very heavy duty applications as well as high temperatures, SGM uses high heat dissipation resins as well as anodized aluminum windings: anodizing consists of a chemical transformation of the surface, with remarkable dielectric properties up to the melting temperature of aluminum.

These Electro magnets are therefore particularly powerful. The constant monitoring of the internal temperature of the magnets, with warning threshold and system blocking threshold, informs the operator and protects the equipment when the temperature becomes excessive.

Thus the lifetime of the magnets is particularly high.

Thanks to the over-excitation device which consists of increasing the supply voltage of the magnets for a few seconds, the magnetization and demagnetization times are reduced to a minimum.
