About

About Piab

Piab's gripping systems combine the contact surface, vacuum source and control signals needed to hold and release a workpiece. In the piCOBOT Electric range, an electrically driven pump mounts on the robot and works with interchangeable suction cups, arms and tooling accessories. The electric supply removes the requirement for a compressed-air connection at the gripper.

The controller distinguishes initial pickup from a secured part using configurable vacuum thresholds. It also adjusts flow to maintain a selected vacuum level and reports status to the machine. Brand-specific interfaces and a Standard I/O option support integration with different robots, while tool changers and docking stations allow the gripping arrangement to change with the task.
