Demagnetiser Workstation
A common problem in industry is residual magnetism in parts after machining or working. Often parts stick together, proving difficult for additional processing. Another typical problem after machining is that parts can pick up swarf, and even washing can prove ineffective. By demagnetising parts, the above problems can be alleviated. There are various different waysContinue reading “Demagnetiser Workstation”
J2A Magnetising Fixture
Hirst recently completed two orders for magnetising and calibration solutions, for two bespoke magnetic parts used in the aerospace industry. In both cases, we designed and built custom tooling compatible with a J2A fixture, to suit clients’ parts. The J2A is a widely used fixture for magnetising and demagnetising small assemblies. It is very adaptable,Continue reading “J2A Magnetising Fixture”
