Piab

piCOMPACT® is an ejector family with integrated controls, so called compact or "all-in-one" ejector unit. It is a stackable platform with the possibility to mount several units in the same manifold and have common pneumatic and electrical connections.
With the state-of-the-art vacuum engine? COAX®, the product is outstanding. By working at low feed pressure and maximizing the utilization rate of the compressed air, the COAX® ejectors reduce energy consumption for manufacturers while increasing productivity and reliability.

Piab is introducing a complement to its range of Value Line® vacuum ejectors. The new aluminum block mounted ejector is dimensioned to emulate a popular ejector format, making it easy to install into many existing systems. Offering improved performance and more energy-efficient operation, the ejector is a cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative for operators of basic automated vacuum systems.
The capacity of the new ejector is twice that of our inline ejectors. But the really clever advantage is that it is designed to slot nicely into existing systems, where it will offer better performance and more energy-efficient operation for the same price as competing ejectors.

• Ejector with improved vacuum performance compared to corresponding size conventional single-stage ejector.
• Ejector stage without flap valve gives high reliability in dirty and dusty environments.
• Light weight body.
• Integrated push-in fittings or thread connection for quick and low cost installation.
• Available in "Inline", "T-design" or aluminum block version.
• The T-design is suitable if exhaust air needs to be piped away.
• The VL206 1/8™ block version is an easy-to-install alternative, targeting operators of basic automated vacuum systems.

Energy efficient micro-ejector system, piCOMPACT Piab launches its piCOMPACT10 range, the first manifold-mounted and functional ejector system on the market based on the energy-efficient MICRO COAX® technology.

• Provides three times more vacuum flow than similar products
• Reduces energy consumption by 30-50 percent
• Available as a single unit or as 2-6 units mounted in a manifold

Improved and intelligent blow-off functions, a split unit design, and a self-adhesion control feature are a few of the new added extras on offer in Piab?s premium piCOMPACT®23 vacuum generator platform. This impressive range of proprietary and patented added features, which also includes IO-Link communication, has the potential to provide optimal vacuum generation for every application.
The compact, all-in-one ejector platform is stackable; up to four units can share the same manifold and pneumatic connections, such as a common feed pressure and exhaust. The option to utilize a split unit design and separate the ejector from the control unit offers added flexibility, particularly where space is limited or for minimizing the weight carried by robot arms.
The integrated and patented valve of Piab's proprietary Blow-off feature ensures more efficient and energy-saving blow-off, enabling faster production cycles. It can also be used to float suction cups whilst positioning them in, for instance, ergonomic lifting aids, or simply to clean suction cups in dusty environments.
A patented Intelligent Blow-off (IBO) feature automatically switches off the blow-off when the vacuum is gone, offering further energy-saving. This feature is also compatible with the bi-stable (latching) on/off valves that can be used in systems prone to emergency stops or those handling expensive objects.

COMPACT10E is a simple vacuum solution that also increases productivity for fast pick and place applications. The COMPACT10E is stackable up to 8 units in one manifold with a common compressed air connection. The manifold can be configured with a common silencer or a common exhaust suitable for cleanroom applications.

• Configurable vacuum ejector based on COAX technology with integrated controls, developed for robotic applications
• Optimized design for high reliability, high vacuum flow and fast cycle times
• Slim package (10mm width) and light weight thanks to high performance plastic parts
• High speed valves for vacuum and blow-off, and blow-off control
• Cleanable and replaceable filter element
• Low noise level

Vaculex is available in six lift tube sizes, between 100mm and 200mm, with five different vacuum pumps and many accessories and suction feet for a virtually infinite number of combinations. Normally, Vaculex is driven by an electric vacuum pump for best performance and flexibility but we can also provide pneumatic vacuum pumps if required.

Lift almost everything

With a vacuum tube lifter you can lift boxes, sacks, drums, sheet metal, computers, crates, barrels, TVs, and much more - depending on equipment and accessories.

The design consists of a pump, vacuum hose, lift tube, control unit, and finally a suction foot or possibly a gripping tool which is adapted to your needs.

Good ergonomics is good economics

Repeated lifts do not have to be heavy to be both dangerous and costly. Most often, vacuum tube lifters lead to an increased work rate and better productivity.

Costs for extended periods of sick leave are reduced and rehabilitation periods are avoided. Our tube lifters minimize that type of problem and also reduce the risk of accidents that can injure the user as well as damage the goods.

piLIFT® SMART is the first vacuum lifter ever that meets the needs of industry 4.0. The usability, flexibility and data management capability put it in a category of its own. Combining the best of vacuum lifting technology with 76% less energy consumption, minimal sound levels and smart data features, the quick and intuitive piLIFT SMART is truly a leap forward. piLIFT® SMART brings the latest technology to enable both operator and operation to obtain live information on performance and status via a web-based platform. The weight of the lifted object will be displayed on the piLIFT® SMART screen which will help the operator to distinguish and identify loads as well as quality assure incoming or outgoing products. No handling device has been more ergonomic, intuitive and easy to learn. Not only have we considered the operator, piLIFT® SMART offers increased benefits of operation. An improvement that will benefit users, operations and environment.
