Vacuum cartridges/integration Introduction
Piab vacuum pumps are predominantly based on the patented COAX® technology

When compressed air (1) passes through the nozzles (2), air is pulled through with the stream of compressed air. “Suction” is thus created at the opening of each stage (3).
COAX® cartridges exist in several sizes (MICRO, MINI & MIDI) and models (Bi, Ti, Pi, Si, & Xi), mak- ing them suitable for every application. The tech- nology ensures excellent performance at both low and high feed pressures – ideal for situations where compressed air lines deliver air at low or fluctuating pressures. Pumps based on COAX® technology can operate within the range of 0.17 to 0.60 MPa.
Integrating COAX® technology directly into the machine body allows you to position vacuum
power exactly where needed, making maximum use of energy and increasing speed by eliminating line losses and inefficiencies. For more information visit www.coaxtechnology.com.
Piab’s decentralized vacuum gripper system (VGSTM) is a product solution integrat- ing high-quality DURAFLEX® suction cups with COAX®- based vacuum cartridges. The VGSTM makes selection, sizing and installation of a vacuum system easier. With a VGSTM, you will enjoy the benefits of a more cost- ef- ficient and reliable vacuum system.
Piab centralized pumps are also based on COAX® technology. These are modularized pumps with COAX® car- tridges; how many car- tridges depend on the vacuum flow needed.
