Suction cups and soft grippers

Piab offers one of the world’s widest ranges of suction cups and soft grippers. Constantly innovating, Piab offers reliability, energy efficiency and longevity. Each application is unique, and VacPro will work with you to find the best Piab solution for your business.

Vacuum pumps and ejectors

Piab’s patented COAX® cartridges are smaller and more efficient than conventional vacuum ejectors, enabling flexible, modular systems. With up to three times more vacuum flow than conventional ejectors, COAX® cartridges can shorten cycle times and, in doing so, reduce energy consumption.

Vacuum conveyors for powder and bulk

Piab’s vacuum conveying systems for powder and dry bulk materials are dust-free and meet the highest standards in hygienic and operational safety. They are custom-configured for applications in agricultural, chemical, pharmaceutical, food production and additive manufacturing industries.

Robot and cobot gripping solutions

VacPro offers ready-to-go grippers to be installed directly on a robot arm or tool changer. We supply devices for all types of robots, standard systems or custom designs built for your application.

Robot End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) components

If you’re looking for a customised solution for a particular application, we offer the components and modular sub-systems you need to build your own End-of-Arm Tool.

System and solution accessories

The reliability and efficiency of Piab monitors and control systems for vacuum automation can not be matched.

Built to reduce energy consumption, these solutions offer efficient filtration, accurate switching and monitoring and reliable regulation.
