Piab last week added magnetic grippers to its portfolio of systems tailored to industrial requirements. It said these latest product offerings will help it better address specific market needs, fill gaps in its product range and strengthen its competitive position in the automation space.
In the past, I worked professionally at a company. free and suction Gripper. Piab said it has designed its magnetic grippers to support a variety of automotive applications, particularly in areas such as stamping and white bodywork.
The magnets will improve handling and assembly processes by providing reliable and efficient gripping and movement of metal parts, the company claimed. This is especially useful in scenarios where traditional vacuum systems may struggle to maintain a seal, such as perforated surfaces or complex laser cut workpieces, Piab said.
The company, based in Danderyd, Sweden, has been advancing automation with progressive gripping, lifting and moving systems since 1951. With annual sales of about $175 million, 650 employees and a presence in more than 100 countries around the world, Piab said it is helping its customers. We improve our operations every day. Since 2018, Patricia Industries, part of Investor AB, owns Piab.

Piab provides magnetic gripper details.
The Piab Magnetic Gripper (PMG) series consists of pneumatic grippers that use permanent magnets to securely grip workpieces. Compressed air activates and deactivates these grippers.
The PMG series is available in sizes PMG20, PMG30 and PMG40, each with specific mounting options. All sizes come with friction rings for safe handling of oily sheets.
Piab says it has designed its magnetic grippers to handle perforated sheet metal and complex laser cut workpieces within industrial systems. It is not designed for life-critical applications or as a stand-alone safety device.
The company said customer benefits include:
- Safety and Reliability: Piab said the use of permanent magnets allows ferromagnetic workpieces to be held securely, reducing the risk of falling and improving operational safety.
- Energy Efficiency: Pneumatically operated, reducing energy consumption and operating costs.
- versatility: It is suitable for processing a variety of ferromagnetic materials, including perforated sheet metal and complex laser cut workpieces.
- Low Maintenance: Minimized moving parts reduce maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Fast operation: Fast activation and deactivation via compressed air allows for an efficient treatment process.
