Piab has introduced a lightweight bag gripper, the LBG-50, which lifts sacks and bags with weights of up to 50 kg (110 lbs.). As it is a pre-engineered tool, development time can be saved.
An unavoidable challenge when defining a new bag gripping system in a palletizing line is to get the exact measurements to align with the conveyor rollers for a smooth lifting and releasing process. This demands time-consuming analysis and design and, later, even more time for adaptation and adjustments.
