piINLINE®plus low feed pressure version
POSTED 11/27/2017
piINLINE®plus is Piab’s configurable platform for decentralized vacuum generation, offering ideal solutions for automotive manufacturers and other industries. Now available in a low feed pressure version . A good choice when experiencing pressure fluctuations in the compressed air lines. The ultra-lightweight vacuum ejectors feature a unique and integrated automatic release mechanism, and come in compact, minimized packages. Tailor-made for automotive press-shop automation, piINLINE®plus offers new technology that will also benefit various other markets and applications. Designed with ports for compressed air and vacuum in-line, supported by quick-fit push-in connectors of varying diameter, they are mounted directly onto the hose, close to the point of suction.
The AQR (Atmospheric Quick Release) function allows a massive amount of air to enter the cup for a quick release without adding compressed air. The AQR low pressure version closes and holds the release function on a lower feed pressure when the ejector is in vacuum mode. Sacrificing a minimum of speed in the release sequence but not jeopardizing the vacuum force when having compressed air pressure fluctuations.

North American Robot Orders Hold Steady in Q1 2025 as A3 Launches First-Ever Collaborative Robot Tracking
Robot orders in North America remained essentially flat in the first quarter of 2025, with companies purchasing 9,064 units valued at $580.7 million, according to new data released by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3). Compared to Q1 2024, this represents a 0.4% increase in units ordered and a 15% rise in order value, signaling continued demand and increased investment in higher-value automation systems.
Made in lightweight and extra durable PA66 material, the piINLINE®plus generators utilize Piab’s COAX® technology, ensuring low air consumption (typically 25 percent lower than competing technology), excellent suction capacity, and fast evacuation. Generators are supplied with either one or two MICRO COAX® cartridges; two cartridges for larger suction cups in high speed applications, or one cartridge for smaller suction cups or for reduced air consumption when high speed is not essential.
