Metal stamping/parts assembly

Assembly process for stamped parts. Robots are used for welding parts together and for material handling. In a robot cell at least a few robots use vacuum in handling operations. The metal sheets are still oily but the speeds and cycle times are much slower than in stamping. Safety and energy-saving devices are important for efficient operation. 

Advantages with Piab

• Increased productivity and safety thanks to special designed friction cups for oily surfaces which also reduces the risk for sliding sheets.
• The productivity is also increased thanks to vacuum pumps using the COAX® technology and optimizers to minimize the energy consumption.
• Great grip will also be achieved thanks to a secure and fast grip thanks to high initial vacuum flow of Piab vacuum pumps.
• Increased safety with special vacuum check valve.
• Flexible tooling components for easy positioning of the suction cups.
• Higher degree of process control, sensing vacuum at each suction cup.
• Easy trouble-shooting.
