Smart solutions for the automated world™

Piab introduces the first-generation heavy-duty adjustable bag grippers
in 25 & 50kg payloads for palletizing plastic, woven cloth or paper bags.
The grippers come in three versions; fixed bag width (FBG), adjustable bag width (ABG), andservo adjustable bag width (SBG). The FBG fixed width models are for your operation with low
frequency of bag size changes, the FBG can be re-adjusted within 4 minutes to fit the new bagsize. The ABG adjustable width model are for a low to medium frequency of bag changes, theABG can be re-adjusted within 30 seconds to fit the new bag size. The SBG servo adjustablemodel, can be adjusted according to your need within seconds and is suitable for the medium
to high frequency of bag changes. Independent Decking Plates square-up and align the bag for
precise placement on the pallet and creates a very tight loading pattern. Top mounted Bag
Clamps maintain bag position on the tool during robot travel to the pallet and allows for highspeed and precision in the movement. Slip Sheet and Pallet Hook options are available toincrease the flexibility even further.
