Electronics & semiconductor

The electronics and semiconductor industries have a role as key technology drivers in the world. They have a  need for high degrees of flexibility and continuous innovation. Products with semiconductor devices often have a very short life cycle so the rate of price-performance improvements are crucial. PIAB's high-end vacuum components constitute a perfect match to this industry's specific manufacturing requirements. The unique low feed-pressure offered by COAX® Bi and Pi vacuum ejectors from PIAB is a perfect example.

Metal forming - bending, hemming, drilling and cutting

Vacuum is mainly used for loading and unloading in metal forming processes and sometimes holding and sorting of the workpiece within the machine. Punching machine, a machine for punching holes in metal. Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials. The bending machine is a metalworking machine that allows the bending ...

Glass/solar panel handling

Solar glass and modules are handled and fixed by vacuum during the entire manufacturing process. The thin, fragile and surface sensitive object is handled under high accelerations and short cycle times. Suction cups which leave no marks, have a good inner support structure and good sealing capability (over seams) shall be used.  ...

Vacuum holding for testing/measuring

Vacuum is used in test equipment for printed circuit boards to press the board against the electrical test points. The vacuum creates an even pressure/force over the entire board. Advantages with PIAB Reduced energy consumption with COAX® technology and optimizers Easy to control and adjust the vacuum level

Robot pick-and-place

The use of robots for placing products in cartons and transfer of cartons and products between different stations in the packaging lines is very common in all industries. High speed pick-and-place robots for placing small items like candy and cookies in packages are often combined with a visual observation system for identifying products ...

Automated pick-and-place

The use of specialized machines for high speed pick-and-place of small items with suction cups is very common in the electronics and consumer industries. This application is typically characterized by short cycle times, high acceleration forces and large variations on the parts to be handled. Advantages with PIAB Reduced energy ...

Palletizing and depalletizing

Palletizing is the process of placing packages on a pallet alternatively removing them from a pallet (depalletizing). Palletizing machines use vacuum pumps, suction cups and other pneumatic components. These machines typically pick up multiple boxes at a time and place them on a stack (or remove them from a stack). Today, because of the ...

Leak testing

Many parts and systems must be airtight to operate correctly. Vacuum is a fairly common method of conducting leak tests. When vacuum is applied, any leaks are detected by small changes in pressure. Leak testing is typically performed both in the assembly of systems as well as in the manufacturing of parts/sub-components. Advantages with ...

Evacuation and filling of liquids

In final assembly of certain machines/products like cars and refrigerators, fluid systems are filled before the machine/product leaves the manufacturing facility. To speed up the process of filling fluids the air is evacuated from the volume that is to be filled. A second vacuum is required that is applied at the end of the filling ...

Vacuum for instrument calibration

Vacuum is used for simulation of different atmospheric pressures and different altitudes for instrument calibration. Advantages with Piab No service required on Piab vacuum pumps Easy adjustable vacuum level Easy to install

Degassing

To achieve an effective degassing of oils and other liquids, vacuum is used. The largest possible surface area is exposed to vacuum. Advantages with PIAB No service required on PIAB vacuum pumps Easy adjustable vacuum level Easy to install
