Piab is pleased to announce the addition of magnetic grippers to our product portfolio, reinforcing our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions tailored to industrial requirements.
Piab is pleased to announce the addition of magnetic grippers to our product portfolio, reinforcing our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions tailored to industrial requirements.
The integration of magnetic grippers in our offerings addresses specific market demands, effectively filling gaps in our product range. These magnets are designed to support various automotive applications, particularly in areas like stamping and body-in-white. The magnets are intended to enhance the handling and assembly processes by providing reliable and efficient solutions for gripping and moving metal parts. This is especially beneficial in scenarios where traditional vacuum solutions encounter difficulties, such as with perforated surfaces or intricately laser-cut workpieces, where vacuum cups may have trouble maintaining a seal.
With the addition of magnetic grippers, Piab is poised to enhance its competitive position in automation, with a strong focus on the automotive sector. This expansion not only broadens our product range but also boosts our ability to assist customers in achieving their productivity and efficiency objectives.
The Piab Magnetic Gripper (PMG) series consists of pneumatically operated magnetic grippers that use permanent magnets to safely grab workpieces. These grippers are activated and deactivated by compressed air.
The PMG series is available in sizes PMG20, PMG30 and PMG40, each with specific mounting options. All sizes come with a friction ring for safer handling of oily sheets.
The magnetic grippers are designed and suitable for handling perforated sheet metal and complex laser cutting workpieces within industrial systems. They are not intended for life-critical applications or as standalone safety units.
Customer benefits
Safety and Reliability: The use of permanent magnets ensures a safe and secure grip on ferromagnetic workpieces, reducing the risk of dropping and enhancing operational safety.
Energy Efficiency: Operated pneumatically, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
Versatility: Suitable for handling a variety of ferromagnetic materials, including perforated sheet metal and complex laser-cut workpieces.
Low Maintenance: Minimal moving parts reduce maintenance needs, leading to lower downtime and maintenance costs.
Quick Operation: Fast activation and deactivation via compressed air allow for efficient handling processes.
These benefits make the PMG series an excellent choice for industries requiring reliable and efficient magnetic gripping solutions
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.
