Piab’s Modular Automation Tooling, also known as PMAT, allows you to construct flexible and adjustable vacuum gripper tools or vacuum fixture tools to meet your needs with minimal design time.
PMAT offers adjustability and also rigidity with the same products. PMAT can be used to design robot end-effector tools, ergonomic tools or fixture tools for use on all types of automation equipment.
The tooling consists of connecting parts for welded frames or extruded profiles and swivel arm assemblies with a choice of various “functional” attachments. Some functional attachments include an ejector that is based on the latest COAX® technology. The ejector unit provides vacuum and also a release function. The ejector can also be equipped with a vacuum check valve and an energy saving unit called Vacustat, under the platform of VGS™3040.
