EAS Pressmag LP is an electro-permanent magnetic clamping system designed for large capacity injection molding machines. Its long oval pole shape provides a high clamping force and easy pole replacement.
- ✓ Long oval pole shape — high clamping force
- ✓ 55mm plate thickness, metal-to-metal clamping surface
- ✓ MAGTCU13 control unit with an 8" touch screen
- ✓ The clamping force stays constant in a power failure
- ✓ Automatic adaptation to changing electrical conditions
Pressmag LP — Magnetic Plate with Replaceable Poles
Pressmag LP is a magnetic mold clamping system with a long oval pole design. The poles are of plug-in construction; when one pole is damaged, only that pole is replaced rather than the whole plate.
Technical specifications

| Safety | Multi-level access authorization for personnel |
Who is it suitable for?
It is designed for large capacity injection molding machines. Thanks to the metal-to-metal clamping surface the applied force is measured at its true value — you do not work from an estimate.
The replaceable pole design lowers the maintenance cost over the long term: under heavy use individual poles can be renewed.

Plug-in poles: the design that changes the maintenance cost
The distinguishing feature of the LP series is its long oval replaceable pole construction. When a pole is damaged the whole plate does not have to be replaced; a single pole is removed and renewed. The greatest risk in a magnetic plate investment is that damage to the surface renders the entire plate unusable — the LP removes that risk.
55 mm plate and metal-to-metal contact
The thick plate construction raises the mechanical strength. Thanks to the metal-to-metal contact surface the clamping force can be measured exactly; as no insulating layer comes in between, the measurement reflects the true value.
MAGTCU13 control unit
The 8 inch touch control unit displays the clamping status and force. In a power failure the force is retained — a natural consequence of the electro-permanent design; energy is used only at the moment of clamping and releasing.
When to choose LP
Plants working with heavy molds, where the plate surface is under strain, and which care about long-term maintenance cost. If water and moisture dominate, FP is more suitable; if there are hot molds up to 150 °C, SP is.
