Research abstract
Through the use of cutting-edge automation technology, Engineered Vision believes they will be able to identify electric motors (EM) containing rare earth permanent magnets (NdFeB) and extract these elements. This new method of extraction and reuse will significantly reduce the number of processing steps required to put these used magnets back into useful service.
