PIAB [Case Study] Vacuum-Driven Soft Gripper "piSOFTGRIP"

Simple and durable! Capable of handling delicate work that is prone to scratches.

Piab's "piSOFTGRIP" is a cost-effective gripping tool developed for automation in the food industry. It has a hollow interior and grips the workpiece with 2 to 3 fingers. Due to its vacuum operation, the gripping force can be easily adjusted and controlled based on the applied vacuum level. Additionally, it has the potential to be used for picking small and irregularly shaped workpieces, such as toys, outside of the food industry. 【Features】 ■ Cost-effective gripping tool ■ Hollow interior ■ Grips workpieces with 2 to 3 fingers ■ Simple and durable ■ Usable for picking small and irregularly shaped workpieces *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "24 Tissue Tubes 3.0ml Type" features a wide inner diameter of 13.4mm at the mouth, a low height of 25.9mm, and a flat bottom design, making it easy to insert and remove samples. Each tube is equipped with a 2D code on the bottom, allowing for efficient sample information management by using a 2D scanner to reflect the code in a PC database. Additionally, it is compatible with automated systems due to its SBS format. 【Features】 ■ Easy insertion and removal of samples ■ Particularly suitable for tissue/cell samples measuring 5mm to 7mm ■ Using our dedicated rack for 24 tubes allows for bulk reading of the 2D codes on the tube bottoms ■ Compatible with automated systems due to its SBS format ■ Made of polypropylene, autoclavable, and compatible with DMSO *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

■Disadvantages of Conventional Antistatic Fluororesin Coatings - Requires high-temperature firing (around 400°C) - Applicable only to metals - Limited color options - Low mechanical strength ■Features of Safron LF+ - Can be processed at low temperatures (below 100°C) - Applicable to metals and resins - Color variations available - High friction coefficient and mechanical strength - Antistatic performance is equivalent to conventional Safron For more details, please check the product site.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
