Kenos Form Gripper supports high-speed handling of paint drums.

We will advance automation through innovative gripping, lifting, and moving solutions.

In 1951, Piab was established as a manufacturer and seller of vacuum technology. We offer advanced solutions such as "COAX," which generates vacuum using compressed air, the "piSOFTGRIP series," known for its quick response without damaging the workpiece, and the "Vacuum Conveyor Series," which has obtained "ATEX dust" certification. Additionally, our "Form Gripper Series" is designed for various applications, including cardboard, wood, building materials, and tableware. 【Products Offered (Partial)】 ■ Ejector COAX - An advanced solution that generates vacuum using compressed air - Enables high reliability and speed of equipment while reducing energy consumption ■ Suction Cups - We can provide suitable models for various applications across industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, heavy industry like steel and glass. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "CCS2" is a ceiling-mounted vehicle counting sensor that employs an infrared reflection method. It can detect vehicles in both directions with just one unit, accurately counting vehicles even during traffic jams or when vehicles pass each other. Additionally, this product can be used not only for vehicle counting but also as a sensor for departure warnings. Furthermore, by using a separately sold dedicated remote control, it is easy to reset the sensor alone, switch the counting direction, and change the patterns of the departure warning timer. 【Features】 ■ Angle adjustment is possible up to ±5° ■ Can be installed in locations with high ceilings up to 4m ■ Detection area consists of 40 spots, allowing for wide-range detection ■ The display LEDs are color-coded by direction, making operation confirmation easy.

Many people may have questions like, "What can be done with IoT?" and "What is needed?" upon hearing the term IoT. Through digital communication, it is possible to obtain various information such as flow sensors, valves, circuit boards, and abnormal monitoring that were not accessible with traditional analog control. For example, by monitoring the valve opening, one can detect blockages in the equipment and identify leaks from cumulative flow. This information directly contributes to reducing downtime and improving quality through continuous long-term monitoring and knowledge-based management. Compatible models include those with digital communication via RS485, in addition to traditional analog controls like 0-5VDC and 4-20mA. (Older models such as the 58xxS, MfxxS series, SLA58xxS, and SLAMfxxS series). Even older models that do not support digital communication can be upgraded to the latest mass flow models, enabling digital communication. The dimensions between new and old models are the same, and no wiring changes are necessary. Additionally, we can provide control boxes for data collection from mass flow. This enables a "visualization" of small IoT without making large changes to the equipment.

Model SLA5850/SLA5851/SLA5853/SLA5860/SLA5861/SLA5863 "With just one unit, you can use 14 types of pressure and flow rates in a single process." Imagine such a mass flow controller platform. Moreover, it features excellent reproducibility, precision, and repeatability. This is the evolved simple performance of the SLA5800 series mass flow controllers/meters. The SLA5800 series boasts high accuracy, zero point stability, and repeatability that are characteristic of Brooks Instrument, a leader in mass flow measurement and control technology. Equipped with configurable advanced multi-gas/multi-range capabilities, it offers superior zero drift specifications compared to competing products while demonstrating long-term maintenance of factory calibration and accuracy.

Model SLAMf50 / SLAMf51 / SLAMf53 / SLAMf60 / SLAMf61 / SLAMf63 / SLAMf64 "Durability to withstand harsh environments! Achieving excellent precision with precise mass flow control" Whether indoors or outdoors, in environments with dust or places that handle water, the 'SLAMf series' elastomer seal thermal mass flow controllers/meters provide proven high precision and long-term stability unique to the "SLA5800 family." Applications ■ Pilot plants for petrochemical and chemical gases ■ Life science bioreactors ■ Blanketing in food processing

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.
