The MagnePorta
A Shimonishi Magnetic Transportation System

Streamlining Flow for Efficient Production The MagnePorta

The MagnePorta is an innovative device for continuously supplying magnetic parts vertically to the next location.

Parts are placed on the MagnePorta at a low height, and they are then delivered at a set rate, improving safety and the work environment. This also improves the safety and productivity at the following process. Additionally, there is no rotating mechanism sticking out, products do not become jumbled and unwanted items do not become mixed in the assembly flow as found with belt conveyor systems.

Parts covered with oil are not a problem as the oil can be easily collected without messy dripping, and the L-shape of the MagnePorta is excellently designed to save space. At the end of the transportation process, a demagnetizer ensures the products come off easily.

The MagnePorta is successfully used in many work environments including for supplying screws, springs and automobile components.
