Automation Upgrades Horizon Magnetics Magnet Quality

In year 2020 Horizon Magnetics add another four sets of multi-wire cutting machines to slice both block and arc shaped Neodymium magnets so as to increase quality level of magnet size and appearance and machining efficiency.

The rare earth permanent magnet multi-wire cutting machine independently developed by the Chinese company wins the 2018 China excellent industrial design award. This award is an industrial design category award approved by China central government, proving its original scientific and technological strength and industrial design level in the field of equipment manufacturing.

Multi wire cutting technology is a new cutting method which cuts hard and brittle materials into hundreds of thin sheets at the same time through the high-speed reciprocating motion of steel wire. Rare earth magnet materials are compounds composed of rare earth elements and transition metals such as Fe, Co, Cu, Zr or non-metallic elements such as B, C, N, etc., which are widely used in many fields, such as permanent magnet motor, automobile, electronics, cell phone, aviation, aerospace and military industry. Especially in the field of new energy vehicles and permanent magnet motors the arc shaped rare earth magnets are previously produced by WEDM (wire electrical discharge machining) whose cutting efficiency is low. This diamond wire multi wire cutting technology can meet the technical requirements of both cutting straight and arc pieces at the same time. It can process 200-300 wires at the same time and greatly improve the cutting efficiency. Its processing efficiency exceeds 100-150 WEDM machines, and the surface finish and dimensional accuracy is improved.

It is the development of rare earth permanent magnet material processing industry that makes the size of rare earth magnet products and then their applied electronic products further reduced and the performance further improved, so as to promote and help our customers adapt to current light, thin and small development trend.

The overall layout of the multi wire cutting is compact, and the main cutting area is separated from wire operation area according to the function, which is convenient for operation and maintenance, and the partition is reasonable. The appearance design of the product is fashionable and simple. The whole product is divided by strong and pure lines and geometric proportion, reflecting the product characteristics of precision cutting. The front main operation area is made of stainless steel, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance. The upper shield is lifted and lifted as a whole, and it can be easily lifted and lowered with one hand by using the balance weight method.
