Smarter Magnetic Mapping: A Custom Tool That Delivers Repeatability and Flexibility
At Allstar Magnetics, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—especially when it comes to magnetic field mapping. A recent project required us to measure the magnetic fields inside long tubes with magnets—a task complicated by the distance normally needed between the probe and the part. Traditional mapping tools would have required a large setup, extra space, and significant cost.
Instead, one of our engineers developed a unique, custom mapping method. By designing a specialized fixture that allowed us to place the probe exactly where needed, we eliminated the distance barrier that usually makes this kind of measurement difficult. The result was a tool that is:
- Repeatable – Delivers reliable measurements, time after time.
- Flexible – Can be adapted quickly for different part configurations.
- Efficient – Saves space and cost compared to traditional mapping systems.
Because this custom solution is both precise and replicable, it streamlines the measuring process not just for this project, but for future projects as well.
This innovation is a clear example of how Allstar engineers listen, innovate, and deliver smarter tools that help our customers move faster, with more reliability, and often at a lower cost.
When standard tools fall short, the right solution often starts with a technical conversation. If you’re facing a measurement or mapping challenge that doesn’t fit off-the-shelf methods, let’s talk through it together.
When an AI robotic company came to Allstar Magnetics, they had a clear request: replicate a magnet they already had. But once our engineers reviewed the design, it became clear that the geometry they provided wasn’t manufacturable—and even if it were, it wouldn’t work the way they needed.
