Vacuum Technology
Solutions for gripping, handling and control through industrial vacuum
Vacuum technologies for industrial automation
Vacuum technology is a key element in modern industrial automation systems where materials and components must be handled safely, quickly and in a controlled way. The use of vacuum enables gripping, lifting, positioning and handling operations without direct mechanical contact, reducing the risk of part damage and increasing production cycle efficiency.
Fluid System is an official Piab distributor. Piab is an internationally specialised brand in the development of high-performance industrial vacuum systems, known for patented solutions focused on energy efficiency, modularity and integration into advanced automation systems. Alongside pneumatic ejectors, Fluid System also supplies DVP electric vacuum pumps, used when continuous vacuum generation independent of compressed air is required.
Fluid System supplies complete vacuum technology solutions for automated machines, robotic systems and production lines, supporting machine builders, system integrators and technical departments in identifying the most suitable solutions based on the application, duty cycle and characteristics of the product to be handled, including integration with pneumatic systems for air and technical gas management.
Types of Vacuum Technology solutions
Vacuum generation for gripping and automated handling systems.
Vacuum pumps and ejectors are at the core of industrial vacuum systems. They generate the vacuum level required to supply suction cups, grippers and gripping systems, with solutions suitable for both centralised installations and decentralised configurations directly on the machine or robot. Piab solutions include in-line, compact and decentralised pneumatic ejectors designed for high-speed applications and intensive cycles. A distinctive element is the use of multistage COAX® technology, which delivers high flow rates and fast response times while reducing compressed air consumption compared with traditional ejectors. These solutions are used where gripping reliability, vacuum stability and energy consumption optimisation are required.

Direct interface with the product for gripping, lifting and positioning.
Suction cups and vacuum gripping systems are the functional elements that come into direct contact with the product to be handled. The range includes suction cups with different geometries, materials and lip configurations, modular EOAT systems and vacuum grippers designed to adapt to smooth, irregular, porous or delicate surfaces. Solutions are available for specific application sectors, including suction cups made from materials suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications, anti-static versions for electronics and configurations optimised for industrial and collaborative robots. The modular approach enables straightforward integration into automation systems and rapid reconfiguration according to the product being handled.
