Any suction cup is easily installed with Piabs new Flexible Suction Cup Mount.
Hingham, MA - Piab is introducing a flexible mounting system for suction cups that enables users to easily install and configure vacuum technology-based tools and fixtures perfectly tailored for handling, for instance, automotive body parts or plastic details. The company's Flexible Suction Cup Mount comprises a broad range of interchangeable parts that make up a mix and match mounting system for the careful and exact positioning of any type of suction cups.
Clamping the rod using compressible rubber stoppers, the ball-shaped fastener also features an optional mechanism for fine adjustments before final fastening with screws secured by captive washers. The fastener also allows the rods to be angled (20-25 degrees) for precise positioning of suction cups, the light-weight rod offering maximum angle adjustment.
A large selection of male and female style fittings for both ends of the rods (top/bottom thread) is available to match specific suction cups. Also included in the Flexible Suction Cup Mount range are fittings designed specifically to enable the smooth rods to be easily detached for further flexibility or maintenance purposes. All fittings come with O-rings, making them 100% vacuum sealed and compatible with energy saving features available for vacuum-based systems.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
