Kenos® Sack Gripper (KSG)

Piab's Kenos® KCS gripper enables a collaborative robot (cobot) that can handle just about anything, anywhere, at any time. This makes it the ideal ”co-working” tool, especially for small businesses, where flexibility is essential. Originally developed together with a leading cobot manufacturer as a tailor-made automation tool for one customer, the resulting vacuum gripper cobot proved so successful that Piab decided to offer it more widely.

piCOBOT® is compressed air driven vacuum gripper designed to act as a flexible co-worker in a variety of production, packaging or assembly lines. Adaptable, powerful and light-weight, it really offers the ideal extra “pair of hands”. Our gripping and moving solutions help thousands of customers in a wide range of industries globally, to improve energy-efficiency, productivity and working environments. Ergonomic, safe and adaptable, our user-friendly solution promises to increase productivity while reducing the risk of injury to your team.  

The Cobot palletizing tool (CPT) is a compact solution for palletizing boxed-in products using cobots. Its multi-zone gripper surface enables irregular as well as multiple picks in one move. Combined with its light weight, the wear on the robot is reduced, increasing its lifetime. By combining the capabilities of multiple EOATs into just one tool, the CPT can help you to reduce your equipment costs, as well as free up valuable development time for other important projects.

piCOBOT®️ Electric is a fully electric vacuum pump unit that maximizes the lifting qualities of cobots without the use of compressed air. Light weight and small size, paired with energy efficiency and cutting-edge gripper tools, enable unparalleled performance and flexibility. piCOBOT®️ Electric enhances productivity when handling sealed and slightly porous materials and any other application demanding the absence of compressed air.

The Kenos®️FlexiGrip (KFG) is a vacuum foam gripper that can be used as a single gripper on robots. Its foam surface offers the versatility to pick a variety of different products without adjustment. Its modular design provides the flexibility for fast and easy set-up in case of product changes as well as simple integration in to existing equipment. Available in round or rectangular format with flow restriction, check valve or bag gripping technology, the KFG offers a stable and rigid grip even on uneven, rough, structured or textured surfaces and can be used to pick up objects of porous or non-porous materials.

The Kenos®️ SafeLight vacuum foam gripper is a robust and simple solution for a broad range of purposes, particularly palletizing in heavy duty applications in rugged and dusty environments. Thanks to its special design of a carbon fiber structure holding a foam made body, it is extremely lightweight allowing to make maximum use of the robot payload. Additionally, this design makes it a naturally adapted solution for collaborative applications. The KSL is available with check valve or flow restriction technology.
