BAG GRIPPER

ALL INDUSTRIES - STANDARD

Joulin Bag Gripper

THE NEW BAG GRIPPER

 
Product line developed by Piab, is designed for the efficient handling of heavy bags in a variety of industrial automation applications. The line is engineered for performance, flexibility, and ease of integration into palletizing systems.
The Bag Gripper family is divided into three main models, each addressing different operational needs and levels of control:

1. BGB (Basic): Features manual adjustments for fundamental handling operations and is good for applications with a few SKU’s.

2. BGH (Hand Wheel): Equipped with mechanical hand wheels for more precise and tool-free adjustments.

3. BGS (Servo): Integrates servo-driven adjustments for fully automated and high precision control. This option allows a robot to service more than 1 line with different bag sizes.

Key Features & Benefits

 
Modularity

Thanks to its modular design, the gripper can be easily adapted even at a later stage. In addition, the modularity enables fast maintenance with short lead times.


Servo-Driven Adjustment (BGS)

Automatic servo-controlled positioning for precise handling of multiple bag formats.


Easy Configuration

Modular design with configurable options eliminates custom engineering and reduces deployment time.

 

Fast Lead Time

With our configurable gripper, you benefit from extremely short delivery times, and all required CAD data and documentation are quickly provided.

 

Integrated Pallet & Slip-Sheet Handling

Configurable suction cups and pallet hooks enable fully automated palletizing cycles.

 

Broad Application Coverage

 

Available in 25 kg and 50 kg payload classes for bag widths from 215–500 mm.

 

Flexible Integration

PNP/NPN sensors, digital I/O, Ethernet, and Profinet support seamless system integration.

Reliable Bag Handling

Four finger spacings and four clamp cylinder positions ensure compatibility with diverse bag and conveyor configurations.

The BGB (Basic) Bag Gripper consists of the following main features:

Each of the three models is available in two payload sizes, supporting bags of up to 25 kg or 50 kg, ensuring a wide range of application suitability across industries. Several configuration options are available for the bag gripper, enabling enhanced functionality and greater integration flexibility.

The gripper can be equipped with options that allow for the handling of tier sheets (slip sheets) and empty pallets, enabling full-layer palletizing cycles without the need for additional devices. Other optional feature include sensor type (PNP or NPN), dust ingress protection for dirty environments, electronic interfaces including digital I/O, Ethernet, and Profinet.
