Piab's Kenos KCS Gripper

PACK EXPO Booth N-6221

Piab's Kenos KCS gripper enables a collaborative robot to handle just about anything at any time. Combining Piab's proprietary air-driven COAX vacuum technology with an easily replaceable technical foam that molds itself around any surface or shape, the gripper can be used to safely grip, lift and handle any object. Standard interface (ISO) adapters enable the whole unit to be attached to any cobot type on the market with a body made in a lightweight 3D printed material. Approved by Universal Robots as a UR+ end effector.

Dorner Previewing its new C3 Belted Curve Conveyor for Sanitary Applications in booth N-5623 at PACK EXPO 2024

PACK EXPO Booth N-5623

PACK EXPO 2024 takes on added excitement this year with the sneak preview of Dorner’s newest conveyor, the C3 Belted Curve Conveyor. The C3 utilizes FDA approved fabric belting to facilitate both a 90-degree and 180-degree curve. The Cis a key breakthrough for companies across a multitude of industries that need to maximize footprint while improving overall throughput in the facility. Because of the FDA approved belting and stainless bed plate this product complies with BISSC standards making it perfect for any bakery or confectionary production setting.

 PACK EXPO attendees will see several other conveyor solutions in action, including the AquaGard GT, a meticulously designed infeed and outfeed conveyor ideal for accumulation-type applications to prevent bottlenecks in industries such as packaging, bottling, dry food processing and part handling. All components (except motors) are either stainless steel or FDA-approved plastics, which are ideal for operating in environments that require wipe-down or occasional washdown cleanings of the conveyor.
