New suction cup check valve senses part presence
Piab’s new piSAVE sense valve has a new design that work well in any orientation, even upside down. It is dirt tolerant and increases vacuum flow through the valve when vacuum level decreases to compensate for leakage. piSAVE sense flow control/check valves are used for object sensing on flexible vacuum handling devices with a centralized […]
Fully pneumatic device with connection for air-driven vacuum pumps
Piab introduces piSAVE optimize, a vacuum controlled proportional pressure regulator. A fully pneumatic device, easy to use and easy to install. piSAVE optimize senses the vacuum level in the system. The feed pressure of the compressed air to the vacuum pump/ejector is automatically regulated and controlled to maintain the set vacuum level. The vacuum level […]
Compact portable air compressor
Atlas Copco launched its XAS 90 air compressor for utility and pneumatic-tool applications demanding as much as 88 cubic feet per minute of air power. “We took day-to-day functionality and ROI into account when developing the XAS 90,” said Rich Elliott, Atlas Copco product manager, low-pressure air compressors. Atlas Copco’s HardHat canopy, which is made […]
Vacuum pump designed for small parts pick and place
Piab offers its patented COAX technology in a new small sized ejector called piPUMP MICRO. COAX is the most energy efficient ejector technology based on a multi-stage concept for creating vacuum with compressed air. The piPUMP can be used for small centralized systems but is perhaps even more suitable for semi-decentralized systems, i.e., a few […]
