Tailored for success: Meet the new KVG E-Series

The highly renowned Kenos® Vacuum Grippers (KVG) series, a benchmark for reliability and efficiency, is now setting new standards in the world of vacuum gripping technology. The newly developed KVG E-Series embodies Kenos®’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions tailored to diverse industrial needs.
This new generation debuts with its first model, the KVG150, which is 150mm wide and available in lengths from 300 to 2000mm. The KVG150 is a result of engineering perfection of world known leaders of vacuum technology. Piab’s most recognized COAX® cartridges provide energy efficient and reliable grip. Whereas Joulin latest innovation of Easy-Foam technology enables to reduce the maintenance time to a minimum, thus increasing productivity. Both expertise are embedded in a precise Kenos® design, balancing lightweight construction with optimized performance. The pure profile design is enhanced by an extended gripping area with an optimized hole pattern in a wider profile and a leading-edge ejector manifold that maximizes air power utilization.
Modularity at its perfection
The KVG series are modular design solutions featuring a wide range of configurations tailored to specific needs. Whatever size, foam type, vacuum performance, and flow control technology you require can be customized to your own specific vacuum gripper for various applications in logistics and warehousing, packaging, processed wood, carton box handling, and many more. Every component, from the silencer to the control valve, is engineered for optimal performance, convenient integration and maintenance.
"We have transferred your needs into real innovative solutions. Stopping a line for maintenance can be very disruptive and costly. With the new KVG150 gripper you are now able to exchange a cartridge or the foam with a fraction of time." explains Benjamin Sauze, Product Manager for the Robotic Gripping Business.
Magnifying power in the new E-Series
The new E-Series is based on the existing and well known KVG series. Yet providing first of a kind innovative features and functionality and expanding the market offering of vacuum grippers significantly. The power of “E” in this series combines the following attributes:
Evolutionary technology harnessing extensive know-how and expertise of world leading vacuum technology experts combined in one ingenious gripper, meeting today’s and future expectations.
Easy integration and maintenance are effortless with the newest gripper technology. Sophisticated features allow quick and effortless changes of cartridges or foam, significantly reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.
Eco-friendly design constructed from recycled material correlates with our corporate sustainability goals. The used materials can be almost entirely dismantled for recycling, contributing to a greener world.
Energy efficiency is at the core of Piab and Kenos® technology. The gripper’s internal design optimizes airflow, ensuring resourceful energy use. The compatibility with other Piab’s energy-saving products such as piSAVE® optimize further contributes to the reduction of the environmental impact.
Extensive gripper series and additional configuration options with further innovations and groundbreaking connectivity variants will complement the program in coming years.
