Palletizing with bag gripper
Handle bags safely
Piab introduces the lightweight LBG-50 bag gripper. The new gripper lifts sacks and bags weighing up to 50 kg. The prefabricated tool saves users valuable development and set-up time. When defining a new bag gripper system in a palletizing line, it is an unavoidable challenge to find the exact dimensions for alignment with the conveyor rollers to ensure a smooth lifting and release process. Additional solutions for handling intermediate layers must also be considered. The LBG-50 bag gripper is designed to solve these problems. It is easy to install and adjust, and maintenance is simple, according to the manufacturer. The bag gripper is flexible and fits on any roller conveyor on the market. The intermediate sheets are easy to handle thanks to the vacuum-based upgrade option with Duraflex suction cups and coax technology.
The LBG-50 lifts the goods gently but firmly. A built-in upper clamping plate secures it from above, which enables a higher cycle speed. Both the arm and the frame of the bag gripper are made of aluminum, making it lightweight yet robust. Other features include the flexible positioning of the width and fingers as well as the generous fastening options. Flexibility also applies to the valve package, which can be configured with either a separate I/O, Ethernet/IP or Profinet.
