Piab’s line of mounting elements offer an easy way to install suction cups and accessories at the correct working position without the cost of engineering time or sourcing from another supplier.
The complete program consists of Mounting brackets (MB), Height adjusters (HA), Suction cup rod extensions (SE) and Level compensators (LC). The parts are designed to fit together for different sizes and applications (M5, G1/8 in., G1/4 in., G3/8 in.).
The steel mounting brackets are suitable for mounting on extruded aluminum profiles. They can be adjusted horizontally and lock against the extruded profile with two included screws. There are two lengths available.
The Height adjusters have a long outer thread with dimensions, M12, M16, M20 or M25 that adjust the position of the suction cup up/down. By tightening the two threaded locknuts, the height adjuster clamps on the Mounting bracket. The HAs are hollow with an internal air/vacuum channel.
If the position of the cup needs to be prolonged vertically, a Suction cup extension can be attached to the height adjuster or level compensator.
Level compensators help the vacuum handling of objects with different heights and the extra-long stroke expands the possibility of handling parts with challenging geometries.
The parts can be mounted on several standard extruded profile systems, suitable for many brand profiles. All parts of the same size-category fit together and thereby create an easy-to-use, compact and flexible/adjustable mounting “assembly kit” for cups.
