piGRIP® FLC is a new component, an interface, that expands the usability of all present Piab suction cups. “irrespective of utility, this product helps dealing with top differences and stale-perspective-choosing in a simplified but sophisticated way” says Lennart Ryberg, Product supervisor of Piab Vacuum Automation department.
(piGRIP®) FLC stands for ‘bendy stage Compensator’ and is a brand new innovative Piab component designed to beautify the abilties of current Piab suction cups, which include level reimbursement, reducing the call for for exact positioning of the cups.
With the aid of including the FLC among a piGRIP® bellow and a suction cup of preference, operational flexibility is more suitable taking into account using cups that could have particular sealing or friction patterns however lack good enough stroke period.
“With the advent of the piGRIP® FLC, Piab expands the opportunities for growing a extensive range of bellow suction cup combos, permitting even greater customized answers with improved accuracy”, says Lennart Ryberg, Product manager of Piab Vacuum Automation department.
Angle compensation
The FLC interface also offers joint functionality, allowing the suction cup to tilt and modify its attitude relative to the item it attaches to, thereby growing the range of movement. Being built from validated Piab piGRIP® components, the FLC guarantees a comfortable connection between the machine interface and the attached suction cup and serves as a clamp interface which reduces the risk of detachment at some stage in operation. If greater robustness is needed, a piGRIP clamp fitting may be used.
Some other smart characteristic is that the brand new aspect allows for the mixing of a piSAVE® experience valve among the Piab piGRIP® FLC and the suction cup. This allows control of the FLC stroke retraction and protraction earlier than selecting an item, including an extra layer of capability.
Lennart Ryberg explains that one of the prerequisites became that every one piGRIP® FLC materials must follow attain (EC 1907/2006) and RoHS (2011/sixty five) rules.
