Less wear and noise in sawing operation

Background

A producer of wooden structures for buildings and transport vehicles uses vacuum when handling wood panels and boards. They were looking for a more efficient and less noisy solution than what they had been using so far.

Solution

The company consulted Piab and a vacuum gripping system was installed. VGS™ 3010 with B110 suction cups were chosen on the after-cut palletising heads and VGS™ 3010 with F150 suction cups on the pre-cut feeder end.

Result

The solution from Piab resulted in a more efficient production line with reduced air consumption, lower noise level and less wear of the suction cups.
