Piab recently introduced its premium piCOMPACT®23 vacuum generator platform, which includes improved and intelligent blow-off functions, a split unit design, and a self-adhesion control feature. These proprietary and patented added features, which also include IO-Link communication, have the potential to provide optimal vacuum generation for every application.
The integrated and patented valve of Piab’s proprietary Blow-off+ feature ensures more efficient and energy-saving blow-off, enabling faster production cycles. It can also be used to float suction cups while positioning them in, for instance, ergonomic lifting aids, or simply to clean cups in dusty environments.
Key Features

- Up to four units can share the same manifold and pneumatic connections, such as a common feed pressure and exhaust
- Option to use a split unit design and separate the ejector from the control unit
- Patented Self-Adhesion Control (SAC) recognizes and eliminates vacuum created in suction cups when the ejector is not engaged
- Patented intelligent blow-off (IBO) feature automatically switches off the blow-off when the vacuum is gone
