KEY PALLETIZING SOLUTIONS:

• Bag Gripping: Piab’s family of robust bag grippers are ideal for palletizing plastic, woven cloth, or paper bags containing grains, chemicals, dog food, minerals, and more. The range includes reliable and adjustable Hybrid Bag Grippers (HBG) and durable Fixed Bag Grippers (FBG), offering adaptable solutions for diverse products.
• Fork-Style EOATs: Retracting fork-style end-of-arm tools excel in handling open-top containers and oversized bags that must be picked from the bottom. Designed to work seamlessly with roller conveyors, the stroking forks retract through a stationary stripper plate to place products securely on pallets.
• Carton Clamping: Side clamp EOATs provide effective handling for slip-top cartons and heavyweight applications where topside picks are impractical, such as heavy blocks of cheese in glued corrugated cartons. Programmable clamping cylinders allow precise force control, enabling palletizing of multiple carton sizes with the same tool.
• Vacuum Plate EOATs: Designed to palletize single containers or complete pallet layers, Piab’s vacuum plate end-of-arm tools utilize high-vacuum flow for superior gripping capabilities. These EOATs are custom-built for cartons, pails, and bag applications, ensuring reliable and efficient handling.
