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
