Piab is proud to announce the launch of the new piSAFE® program

Piab’s new piSAFE® program enables new benefits in applications where safety, flexibility, speed and performance are key. The solutions in the piSAFE® program are developed to provide configurable and low weight products that can be adapted to your specific needs.

While maintaining market leading vacuum performance thorough Piab's patented COAX® technology the flexible design and ease of maintenance makes it a perfect choice for challenging robotic applications and ergonomic handling devices where safety is a key concern. Whether you want a centralized or decentralized vacuum gripping system, interfaces towards common (industrial standard) EOAT systems or stand-alone mounting, the piSAFE® program provides a high vacuum safety and high performing configuration specified for you.


piSAFE® program key benefits:

• Vacuum safety non-return valve (check valve) which holds vacuum in sealed applications in case of a system or power failure
• Available configurations suitable for both centralized and decentralized vacuum systems
• Can replace more expensive mechanical or vacuum-tank safety arrangements in robotic tools and ergonomic equipment
• Suitable in robotic applications where high demand of safety is required
• Suitable for ergonomic lifting devices/manipulators and cranes which must comply with lifting norms such as (DIN/SS) - EN 13155 and ASME Standard B30.20
• Through the energy saving features, the noise level is reduced as well as the carbon footprint
• Air consumption is reduced up to 98% per cycle
• Light-weight materials lower the weight for EOAT and ensure less wear on robotic motors and drive with a possibility for increased speed/acceleration or a smaller, cheaper robot

piSAFE® program key features:

• Configurable with vacuum ejectors based on COAX® technology with integrated control functions for energy-saving and release
• Vacuum sensing port included for easy installation of good-to-go switch
• Configurable with different types of release functions supporting maximum release speed and air-consumption free release
• Configurable with multiple mounting options
• The modular design facilitates opportunities for easy maintenance, quick connect options and is fit for application configurations

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task

In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
