Piab expands portfolio of robotic end-effectors

January 7, 2026 By Puja Mitra

Piab offers a range of robotic end-effectors intended to support automation cells in manufacturing and logistics. The portfolio includes modular end-of-arm tooling, vacuum grippers, magnetic grippers, foam area grippers and soft grippers for applications such as picking, packing, palletizing and handling packaged goods.

Flexible end-effectors for different applications

Cobot picking, packing and palletizing – piCOBOT and piCOBOT L
Piab’s piCOBOT is a compact vacuum gripper designed for collaborative robots for picking and packing tasks in logistics and e commerce. The piCOBOT L is intended for higher payload applications and has a lifting capacity of up to 35 lb for palletizing cartons, bags and trays.

Delicate food handling – piSOFTGRIP
Piab’s piSOFTGRIP is a soft gripper developed for handling fragile products such as chocolates and bakery items. It can be integrated on collaborative or small industrial robots to pick items from conveyors and place them into packaging while minimizing surface marking.

Mixed and irregular loads – Kenos area grippers (KVG, KSG)
Piab’s Kenos KVG is a foam-based vacuum gripper for handling irregular, porous or mixed products, including wood components and veneer sheets. The Kenos KSG range includes configurable sealing rings and is available in a smaller size to adapt to different product formats and densities. Typical use cases include layer picking of boxes or trays, handling panels and board materials and mixed-SKU logistics.

Integration

Piab end-effectors use standardized mounting interfaces for integration with industrial robots and cobots, supporting faster installation and reconfiguration when production needs change.
