Improved design on bag lip for piGRIP suction cup
Piab introduces the next generation of piGRIP bag lips, known as โBGIโ. These lips include an internal retainer piece as well as three additional diameter sizes. The bag lips are ideal for handling different types of bag materials, especially hard-to-handle thin bag material, such as plastic film. The six diameter sizes now at 25, 34, […]
The Bernoulli Effect: Gripping gently with overpressure
Swiss mathematician and physicist Daniel Bernoulli discovered 250 years ago that a partial vacuum is created when a medium such as air flows past an object quickly. The object is not blown away, as expected, but rather sucked in. Airplanes make use of this elementary effect in fluid dynamics resulting from flowing gases and liquidsโit […]
