PIAB [Case Study] Picking Soft Foods

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.
