Piab‘s Kenos KVG series of vacuum grippers is extended to include the option of using suction cups instead of the technical foam pads offered as standard. The popular vacuum grippers can now be configured with suction cups from Piab’s flexible and durable suction cup series DURAFLEX BX as well as the generic Value Line series.

“对于Kenos KVG真空夹具的新吸力杯选项将帮助我们的客户更好地解决某些可能很难抓住的材料或物品。它旨在作为标准模型中使用的泡沫抓地力的替代方法，并将扩展Kenos®KVG真空吸尘器可以提供的应用范围。” PIAB自动部门副总裁Josef Karbassi说。

Kenos KVG Gripper系列使用PIAB专有的空中驱动多阶段同轴电缆技术来提供高效的真空生成，旨在安全地抓住，举起和处理对象，重点关注包装和家具行业。标准型号使用易于替换的技术泡沫垫，该泡沫垫可在物体周围塑造自身，无论形状或尺寸如何，都可以提供牢固的抓地力。提供了FDA批准的泡沫垫，可以将螺距孔的数量和泡沫的厚度变化以适合不同的应用。

“在物体表面可能是潮湿或油性的情况下，带有吸盘的KVG提供了进一步的优势。替代吸力杯可以更好地承受水和油的存在所带来的挑战。在这种情况下，通常不需要泡沫的灵活性，吸力杯将更加耐用并提供更长的寿命。” Josef Karbassi解释说。

Piab’s Value Line suction cups offer good performance at a value price for standard/basic applications. Cups in flat-concave, bellows and long-bellows shapes, and with long thin lips for good sealing on slightly corrugated surfaces, such as corrugated cardboard, are available globally with off-the-shelf deliveries.

The company’s DURAFLEX suction cups combine firm bellows with soft, flexible lips made from a specially developed material that features the elasticity of rubber and wear resistance of polyurethane, making them particularly suitable for uneven and porous surfaces.

Piab also recently introduced piCOBOT, a vacuum gripper designed for the collaborative robotics market. Offered as a development kit, piCOBOT comprises a vacuum pump unit, a gripper unit and two suction cups. The standard kit includes four different sets of suction cup models suitable for a variety of tasks, but customers can also choose freely from the company’s extensive range of suction cups for more tailored solutions.
