Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

In the year 2002 the Magdeburg company B.T. innovation GmbH patented a positioning aid for magnetic clamps. The aid in question is a foot/spring system that prevents a magnet, when placed on a tilting table, a circulating pallet or another magnetic formwork surface, from immediately adhering. Instead, a small air gap remains between magnet and surface. The magnet can then be precisely aligned without effort and subsequently activated with slight pressure, so that it then develops its full adhesive force. Thanks to this simple, but very helpful idea, the MagFly magnetic clamps advanced within a very short space of time to become one of the most successful magnetic systems in the precast concrete industry.
