The well-known Kenos® Vacuum Grippers (KVG) series, a standard for dependability and effectiveness, is now establishing new benchmarks in the realm of vacuum gripping technology. The freshly created KVG E-Series reflects Kenos®’ dedication to providing advanced solutions customized for various industrial requirements.
This new generation launches with its initial model, the KVG150, measuring 150mm in width and offered in lengths ranging from 300 to 2000mm. The KVG150 is a product of the engineering excellence from globally recognized pioneers in vacuum technology. Piab’s well-known COAX® cartridges offer dependable grip and energy efficiency. Joulin’s recent breakthrough with Easy-Foam technology minimizes maintenance time, resulting in enhanced productivity.
Both areas of expertise are integrated into an exact Kenos® design, harmonizing lightweight structure with enhanced functionality. The refined profile design is improved with a broader grip zone featuring a better hole arrangement in a larger profile and a cutting-edge ejector manifold that optimizes the use of air power.
Modularity at its finest
The KVG series offers modular design solutions with a variety of configurations customized to meet specific requirements. Any size, foam material, vacuum capabilities, and flow regulation technology you need can be tailored to your unique vacuum gripper for diverse uses in logistics and warehousing, packaging, processed timber, carton handling, and much more. All elements, ranging from the silencer to the control valve, are designed for maximum efficiency, easy integration, and upkeep.
“We have turned your requirements into genuine innovative solutions.” Halting a production line for maintenance can be quite disruptive and expensive. “With the updated KVG150 gripper, you can now replace a cartridge or the foam in a fraction of the time,” explains Benjamin Sauze, Product Manager for the Robotic Gripping Business.
Enlarging capability in the latest E-Series
The new E-Series is derived from the established and familiar KVG series. Still delivering unique innovative features and capabilities while considerably broadening the market range of vacuum grippers. The strength of “E” in this sequence encompasses these characteristics:
Evolutionary technology combining vast knowledge and skill from top vacuum technology specialists integrated into a single clever gripper, fulfilling present and future demands.
The latest gripper technology allows for hassle-free integration and maintenance. Advanced features enable fast and easy cartridge or foam swaps, greatly minimizing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
Sustainable design made from reused materials aligns with our company’s sustainability objectives. The materials utilized can be almost completely taken apart for recycling, aiding in a more sustainable planet.
Energy efficiency is central to the technology of Piab and Kenos®. The internal structure of the gripper enhances airflow, guaranteeing efficient energy consumption. The compatibility with other Piab energy-saving products like piSAVE® optimally aids in reducing environmental impact.
A wide range of gripper series and new configuration options, along with further innovations and revolutionary connectivity variants, will enhance the program in the upcoming years.
