Case Study
25% increase in cycle speed and no dropped parts
25% increase in cycle speed and no dropped parts Background PARADOR Parkettwerke in Austria was looking to improve their cycle speed and efficiency when handling pieces of laminated parquet flooring. The pieces of flooring shift and move while being handled and the number of pieces vary with each cycle. The variation in the number of handled pieces results in suction cups randomly place in between the flooring thus resulting in even more reduced lifting force, dropped pieces and a very slow vacuum system. Solution Piab installed DURAFLEX® BX52P suction cups in dual durometer with new fittings containing piSAVE sense. The piSAVE sense is a flow-controlled vacuum check valve for "object sensing" on flexible vacuum handling devices with a centralized pump solution. A centralized vacuum system
