Case Study: Automation Technology achieves faster, safer galvanized sheet handling with Piab Kenos® KVG grippers

Automation Technology boosts sheet handling with Piab’s Kenos KVG grippers for 0.35 mm galvanized sheets

Automation Technology, a leader in industrial automation, faced the challenge of designing an automated line for handling delicate galvanized sheets for a leading Italian manufacturer. The challenge required a gripping solution that was reliable, versatile, and could handle variable sheet surfaces without frequent maintenance. To meet this need, they turned to vendor Piab and its Kenos® KVG grippers.

Piab's solution involved implementing customized Kenos KVG grippers, which provided a firm and reliable grip on the delicate sheets. This eliminated the need for manual labor and multi-suction cup systems, significantly reducing machine downtime and enhancing overall productivity. The results optimized cycle times and, most importantly, eliminated the risk of operator injuries associated with the previous manual process.
