Core offering

MAG-AUTOBLOK TECNOMAGNETE designs, manufactures and commercializes electropermanent magnetic systems for industrial applications. Its portfolio includes magnetic chucks for clamping workpieces on machine tools (MILLTEC, MILLTEC Round, RADIALTEC, QUAD EXTRA, QUAD RAIL, GRINDTEC, EDMTEC), magnetic lifters for handling ferrous loads (MAXX manual lifters, TECNOLIFT electronic lifters, MODULI SM, BL modules), and rapid mold and die change systems for stamping and injection molding presses (STAMPTEC, PressTEC, QMC123).

Product overview

MAG-AUTOBLOK TECNOMAGNETE offers a comprehensive portfolio of electropermanent magnetic systems for industrial applications. The core technology platform includes the patented Quadsystem electromagnetic technology with MONOLITE construction. Product lines span five main categories: (1) Machine tool workholding systems including MILLTEC, MILLTEC Round, QUAD EXTRA, RADIALTEC, and GRINDTEC for clamping on CNC machines; (2) Manual lifters (MAXX series) and electronic lifters (TECNOLIFT series) for ferrous load handling; (3) Rapid mold change systems including STAMPTEC for sheet metal stamping and QMC123 for plastic injection (developed with Stäubli); (4) Modular handling systems including QUAD RAIL for railroad switches and SM/BL modules for various load types; and (5) Specialized solutions like EDMTEC for EDM and PressTEC for injection molding. Key enabling technologies include the GRIP self-locking function, IPC intelligent force control, and NUFLUX demagnetization. All products share the electropermanent magnetic technology that uses electrical power only for activation/deactivation (2-3 seconds) while maintaining constant magnetic force from permanent magnets.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• StäublicoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2022MAG-AUTOBLOK TECNOMAGNETE and Stäubli (Swiss provider of industrial and mechatronic solutions) entered a strategic partnership to jointly develop a new generation of high-performance magnetic rapid mold change solutions for plastic injection molding. The partnership combines Stäubli's control and safety systems with Tecnomagnete's compact and robust magnetic plates. The result is the QMC123 rapid mold change system for injection molding presses, launched in 2022.

Broad incumbents

• Schunk GmbH & Co. KG: German global leader in workholding and clamping technology for machine tools, robots, and automation. Overlaps directly with Mag-Autoblok Tecnomagnete on magnetic and mechanical clamping for CNC machining centers, while competing across a much broader product portfolio (lathe chucks, toolholders, robotic grippers).
• Kitagawa Corporation: Japanese manufacturer of power chucks, cylinders, and workholding equipment used globally on CNC lathes and machining centers. Overlaps with Mag-Autoblok Tecnomagnete in metal-cutting workholding and serves many of the same automotive and industrial OEMs in Asia and Europe.

Direct peers

• SMW-Autoblok (parent group entities): Controlling industrial group that shares the Mag-Autoblok Tecnomagnete entity; SMW-Autoblok subsidiaries (Iberica, India, Mexico, Turkey, Poland, Sweden) act as distribution channel and also produce their own power chuck and clamping products for machine tools, directly adjacent to Mag's magnetic chuck line.
• Gressel AG: Swiss manufacturer of magnetic and mechanical clamping systems (gripper, centro gripp, vises) for machining centers and automation, targeting the same CNC workholding applications as Mag-Autoblok Tecnomagnete's MILLTec and QUAD EXTRA product lines.

• Eclipse Magnetics (Birtley Group): UK-based manufacturer of industrial magnetic equipment — lifting magnets, chucks, filters, and separators — serving manufacturing and process industries across Europe. Closely comparable product scope to Mag-Autoblok Tecnomagnete's MAXX, Tecnolift, and chuck families.
• Industrial Magnetics Inc. (IMI): US manufacturer of magnetic separation, material handling, and lifting equipment for industrial applications, including magnetic chucks and lifters comparable to Mag-Autoblok Tecnomagnete's offerings in North American heavy industrial markets.
• Stäubli International AG: Swiss mechatronics and robotics group with which Mag-Autoblok Tecnomagnete co-developed the QMC123 rapid mold change system. Stäubli independently produces its own QMC magnetic platens for injection molding, and the two firms serve a shared customer base with complementary control/magnetic IP — both partner and partial competitor.
