The elimination of compressed air fundamentally changes the design of automation systems.
Simpler system architecture
No compressor, no valves, no compressed air lines.
Virtually no energy costs
In real-world applications with multiple grippers, the energy costs of compressed air systems—which would otherwise run into the four- to five-digit range—are reduced to just a few euros in electricity costs per year.
High operational reliability
Fewer components mean fewer potential sources of error and less maintenance costs.
Predictive maintenance instead of leak detection
Integrated sensors continuously send status data to the PLC for immediate anomaly detection without hidden leaks.
Cleanroom-compatible
No blow-off, no air turbulence – minimizes particle movement and supports stable cleanroom conditions.
