Piab logo piGRAB - The Gentle Grabber    

The most cost efficient alternative to mechanical grippers 

 

piGRAB is a vacuum based gripping tool. Since it is vacuum based the gripping/clamping force is softer than when using a pneumatic gripper. The big advantage is that you can grab sensitive items for applications like; Vision guided Bin-picking, pallet lifting, gentle handling of parts such as glass or fruits without risking breakage or damaging by the force of the grip. 

 

This vacuum activated gripper/grabber is suitable for gentle and compliant gripping operations as well as locking/holding.  It is easy to fine-tune the gripping torque/force by controlling the vacuum level. piSAVE optimize and piSAVE on/off are excellent products for vacuum level control.
