en.Wedoany.com Reported - Piab, a Swedish industrial gripping and vacuum technology company, recently released its latest piSOFTGRIP 40-3 soft gripper, aimed at expanding its capabilities in gently and stably gripping fragile and irregularly shaped products.

The piSOFTGRIP 40-3 is the largest and highest load capacity model in the series. It features an elastomer material and uses pneumatic pressure to bend its "fingers" inward, enabling adaptive, enveloping gripping of objects. Compared to traditional rigid grippers, this soft design can handle objects of various shapes and materials without changing the tool, significantly increasing production line flexibility. With a maximum gripping force of up to 15 kg, it is suitable for industries such as food processing, cosmetics packaging, and electronics assembly.

Founded in 1951 and headquartered in Sweden, Piab is a well-known supplier in the field of industrial automation, particularly in vacuum handling and gripping technology. The company states that as manufacturing shifts toward high-mix, low-volume production, the demand for flexible end-of-arm tooling is rapidly increasing. Orders for the new gripper are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026, and it will be demonstrated live at the IMTS International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, USA, in September 2026.
