piSAFE® launch - Full program now available

Piab’s new piSAFE® program enables new benefits in applications where safety, flexibility, speed and performance are key.

The solutions in our piSAFE® program are developed to provide configurable and low weight products that can be adapted to your specific needs. While maintaining market leading vacuum performance through Piab’s patented COAX® technology, the flexible design and ease of maintenance makes it a perfect choice for challenging robotic applications and ergonomic handling devices where safety is a key concern. Whether you want a centralized or decentralized vacuum gripping system, interfaces towards common (industrial standard) EOAT systems or stand-alone mounting, the piSAFE® program provides a high vacuum safety and high performing configuration specified to your needs.

The piSAFE® program is now supplemented with piSAFE® Vacuum Safety Valve and piSAFE® Vacuum Safety Valve Mini for centralized systems which marks the completion of the piSAFE® program. The piSAFE® Vacuum Safety Valve and piSAFE® Vacuum Safety Valve Mini are available from 8th of June.

piSAFE® program key benefits

• Vacuum safety non-return valve (check valve) which holds vacuum in sealed applications in case of system or power failure 
• Can replace more expensive mechanical or vacuum-tank safety arrangements in robot tools and ergonomic equipment
• Suitable for ergonomic lifting devices/manipulators and cranes which must comply with lifting norms such as (DIN/SS) – EN 13155 and ASME Standard B30.20
• Through the energy saving features, the noise level is reduced as well as the carbon footprint. The air consumption is reduced with up to 98% per cycle
• Light-weight materials lower the weight on EOAT and ensure less wear on robotic motors and drive with possibility for increased speed/acceleration or a smaller, cheaper robot

piSAFE® program key features:

• Configurable with vacuum ejector based on COAX® technology with integrated control functions for energy-saving and release
• Vacuum sensing port included for easy installation of good-to-go switch
• Configurable with different types of release functions supporting maximum release speed and air-consumption free release
• The modular design facilitates opportunities for easy maintenance, quick connect options and fit for application configurations
