TecnAir will exhibit a range of pneumatic and hydraulic solutions on stand B020 at AUSPACK 2019, including from partner Piab.

The company will display its 316 stainless steel cylinders, which are manufactured in the UK and can be supplied either bespoke or to the ISO 15552 standard. Alongside these will be its pneuma-hydraulic cylinder, which is a co-axial drive comprising two integral elements: a pneumatic drive unit to provide power, and an integrated closed circuit hydraulic drive to provide accurate speed control.

TecnAir’s vacuum monitoring system will also appear, which the manufacturer says was developed to oversee and provide the operator of a vacuum lifting device a confirmation, both visual and audible, that the intensity of the vacuum pressure and grip of the suction cups has not been compromised.

Additionally, Piab’s piCobot gripper for collaborative robots (cobots) will feature on the stand, as well as a range of grippers under the Kenos brand.
