Building fabric is one of the most important industries of the future. Numerous innovations in recent years have ensured even greater efficiency and therefore dynamism. Magnets and magnet systems are among them. In precast concrete construction, for example, automation and digitalisation have long since made their mark. Precast concrete shuttering, for example, is realised with the help of shuttering robots. Holding magnets are used to realise the integrated electrical installation components (e.g. device junction boxes, end and transition grommets or wall and ceiling elbows as well as concrete installation housings).

These are placed on the metal formwork with millimetre precision, then the respective electrical installation components are placed on top, which are also equipped with a special holder for system magnets. The same principle has also proven itself in the automated production of panelled ceilings, where system magnets are used, for example, to insert large sockets for light suspensions and more.

Typical applications for magnet systems in precast concrete production

• Fixing of electrical box bodies

• Fixing anchor plates and anchor rails

• Fixing pipes and sleeves
