Start to finish, we are in every stage of the production line from press shop, body shop, final assembly, and even component production. Press shop Slippery panels due to oil, narrow areas to grip, reliability and speed in the press are all factors to consider in designing your vacuum system of suction cups and vacuum ejectors. Using our products created especially for the Automotive industry, press shop sheet metals are moved across the press quickly and efficiently. APPLICATIONS De-stacking metal sheets Press transfer of metal sheets End of line racking of metal panels What Piab offers Tailor-made cups: unprecedented design for handling oily sheets; our suction cups are made to keep their grip. Efficiency: our suction cups and vacuum ejectors are made to match the speed of the press line Reliability: safe and sturdy to move heavy pieces at no cost to human safety Body assembly In the Automotive industry, body assembly speed and safety are the first priorities. The metal sheets are heavy and oily, requiring the need of our energy efficient vacuum gripping solutions and specially designed friction cups to help lift, grip, and move products along the assembly line. Our solutions are flexible during production and are robust and reliable, offering maximum safety in case of power failure. APPLICATIONS Underbody, engine and trunk compartment assembly Bodysides and framing assembly Closures – hemming stations – inner and outer assembly Auto-racking unloading and assembly Kitting picking of parts What Piab offers Tailor-made cups: unprecedented design for handling oily sheets; our suction cups are made to keep their grip. Efficiency: our suction cups and vacuum ejectors are made to match the speed of the press line Reliability: safe and sturdy to move heavy pieces at no cost to human safety Final assembly In the final assembly (after paint-shop), the vehicle is equipped with heavy exterior and interior parts such as bumpers, dashboards, tires, windscreens, and even brakes and AC systems. Our vacuum products together with robots help to lift these parts safely and efficiently. And thanks to our large selection of suction cups you will find the right grip without leaving any marks. APPLICATIONS Door on/off ergonomic tools Glass assembly and installation Gas tank assembly and installation Exterior and interior trim components assembly Kitting picking of parts What Piab offers Mark free parts: our wide selection of suction cups guarantee mark free handling Efficiency: our suction cups and vacuum ejectors are made to optimize the speed of the assembly line Reliability: innovative vacuum systems and components secure handling delicate, heavy, and high value parts at no cost to human safety Plastic moulding shops Automobiles consist of large amounts of plastic parts which require reliable handling both during de-moulding and part handling as well as during de-gating and cutting operations. Having a secure grip with both vacuum and mechanical gripping is essential to produce damage free, high quality plastic parts. APPLICATIONS De-gating plastic parts Plastic part removal What Piab offers Quality: End of Arm tools, which cycle after cycle securely handles your automotive parts Enhanced production: innovative component systems, which allow for handling both simple and complex cuts Reliability: robust design of component and End of Arm tool systems Tailor welded blanks Prior to stamping car panels in the press shop, large, blank metal sheets are welded together to optimize the safety and structure of the vehicle. We help to load and unload these heavy metal sheets using our innovative vacuum gripping technology. Our suction cups guarantee carrying a metal sheet without creating dents and to release the sheets safely, which leads to faster cycle times and higher productivity.
