By introducing Piab's Kenos(R) KVGL gripper into the end-line automation system of a flour bagging factory, we achieved improved productivity in the handling of bags. Before adopting Piab's vacuum technology, we were picking bags one by one with a gripper equipped with suction cups. Frequent drops of the conveyed items occurred due to variations in bag dimensions, making it difficult to correct and time-consuming for the process. The adoption of the Kenos(R) KVGL foam gripper resolved all these issues. It maximized the flexibility of the gripping layout and reduced the cycle time by 20%. Additionally, compared to suction cups, which often damaged the bag paper, the larger gripping surface and lower required vacuum level made it less likely to damage the conveyed items. The Kenos KVGL gripper system can incorporate a COAX multi-stage ejector as a vacuum source, and it is also possible to use an external electric vacuum pump.
