Collaborative Robots
A collaborative robot or "cobot" is a robot designed to work in a shared workspace with humans. We offer a complete range or collaborative robot arms from Universal Robots along with grippers, vision systems and additional accessories needed to implement cobots into your new or existing manufacturing processes.
Collaborative Robot Arms
Cost-effective, flexible, safe, and easy-to-use collaborative robots (cobots) are just the ticket to give your business greater control. You don’t have to worry about a cobot calling in sick or quitting without notice, getting bored or injured, or taking too long to learn a new process.
Universal Robots' three different collaborative robots are easily integrated into existing production environments. With six articulation points, and a wide scope of flexibility, the collaborative robot arms are designed to mimic the range of motion of a human arm.

Vacuum Grippers
Piab VGS - Vacuum Gripper System
Piab’s decentralized Vacuum Gripper system, VGS, is a product solution integrating high quality suction cups with COAX cartridges.
- VGS makes selection, sizing and installation of a vacuum system much easier. Design and dimension mistakes for the vacuum system will be avoided.
- You will enjoy the benefits of a more efficient and reliable vacuum system.
- Increased machine speeds can be achieved thanks to faster response times with the vacuum source right at the cup and better initial vacuum flow which will grip the object faster.
- The decentralized approach provides safety with one vacuum source per suction point and it also eliminates flow losses in long vacuum hoses, making maximum use of energy.
Kenos KCS gripper - your flexible cobot friend
Small, powerful and flexible, Kenos® KCS vacuum gripper helps you handle anything, anywhere.
Piab's Kenos KCS gripper enables a collaborative robot (cobot) that can handle just about anything, anywhere, at any time. This makes it the ideal ”co-working” tool, especially for small businesses, where flexibility is essential. Originally developed together with a leading cobot manufacturer as a tailor-made automation tool for one customer, the resulting vacuum gripper cobot proved so successful that Piab decided to offer it more widely.
