 Integrated COAX® solution simplifies complex automation process Integrated COAX® solution simplifies complex automation process
A worldwide company producing furniture had encountered problems with unstable grips on work pieces during grinding operations.
A worldwide company producing furniture had encountered problems with unstable grips on work pieces during grinding operations. The system was based on continuous vacuum operation with a mechanical pump connected to a turntable. In addition, the system had to be versatile to handle all types of curved surfaces. The company also had a problem with providing vacuum to the rotary heads because of the large diameter vacuum tubing and poor reliability of the complicated control system of a large centralized mechanical vacuum pump. The centralized vacuum pump was 2 meters away from the turntable with a 1 ½” diameter hose.
Solution
Piab offered a de-centralized energy-efficient vacuum solution with integrated COAX® Midi Si32-3 vacuum cartridges and piGRIP® suction cups for each rotary head on the turntable along with vacuum filters. The Si cartridges were selected as they can compensate for any leakage at the rotary heads.
Result
Decentralizing the vacuum system simplified the control system by transferring control directly to the turntables. It reduced both the size and the diameter of the feeding hoses. Additionally, the use of Piab vacuum accessories significantly reduced noise levels compared to the mechanical pump. The Piab solution also reduced costs of the vacuum system by 60% and energy consumption decreased by 30%. Thanks to use of Piab piGRIP® suction cups, the company has managed to work efficiently with the irregular shaped work pieces by adjusting the height of suction cups (e.g. from 3 ½ bellows to 1½ bellows). The high rigidity of the bellows has significantly increased the stability of the grip during grinding.
The PIAB mission is to be a global leader in industrial vacuum technology and, with innovative solutions, improve the productivity and working environment of vacuum users around the world.
PIAB strives to offer not only products and services that satisfy the requirements, needs and expectations of our customers, but products and services that actually exceed their requirements, needs and expectations. This is done by sharing our knowledge and experience with our customers.
PIAB, as a matter of course, takes responsibility for our common environment. As one example of this, we always look for the most environmentally friendly means of transportation of our products.
We encourage our suppliers to research and develop materials that allow environmentally friendly manufacture, function and
recycling of our products.
The ejector pumps have become so small that they can be placed straight at the very place of suction in so-called integrated vacuum grippers. These increase the speed of the system by minimizing the amount of air that must be evacuated. Adaptation to the application is thus simplified by the use of the small and lightweight vacuum grippers.
The material properties of the suction cups are crucial for the function. We can create perfectly adapted suction cups when it comes to pliability, durability and chemical resistance. Thanks to the built-in filter the vacuum system is also protected against foreign particles, something that is of great importance in terms of maintenance requirements.
Powder materials are common in chemical industries and similar industries such as the food and pharmaceutical industries.Vacuum conveying is an unsurpassed means of satisfying the demanding requirements of cleanliness and hygiene.
| suction cups Using suction cups is a lifting technique of many possibilities. You can, for example, handle board materials or concrete slabs, open bags, pick electronic components, label and hold objects. But different applications need different requirements. PIAB offers one of the market’s widest ranges of suction cups so that each application will have its own solution. You are welcome to tell us about your needs. We are your partner whatever your needs might be. | 
| Vacuum pumps COAX® technology
PIAB's patent technology platform is an offshoot of the multistage technology.
COAX® ensures excellent performance at both low and high feed pressures – ideal for situations where compressed air lines deliver air at low or fluctuating pressures.
Pumps based on the COAX® technology can operate within the range of 0.17 to 0.60 MPa.
