Shobai Automation specializes in vacuum technology for robotic press shops in Pune, India. With over 10 years of experience in industrial automation, we help automotive and manufacturing companies upgrade labor-intensive press shop operations into efficient, precise, and reliable automated systems.
Vacuum technology plays a critical role in the automation of press shops, especially in robotic handling systems. In these environments, high-speed and precise movement of metal sheets and components is essential — and vacuum-based End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) enables safe, efficient, and damage-free handling during stamping, forming, and pressing operations.
High-speed operation: Supports the rapid cycle times required in press lines.
Gentle handling:Prevents scratches or deformation of sensitive sheet metal parts.
Reliable gripping:Maintains secure hold even on oily or curved surfaces using specialized vacuum cups.
Energy efficiency: Modern vacuum generators and ejectors reduce air consumption.
Vacuum EOAT systems eliminate the need for mechanical gripping, reducing wear and tear and simplifying the design. This is especially important in environments where reliability, speed, and gentle handling are critical to productivity and part quality.
