Piab Vacustat-COAX Vacuum Pump Review: Specs, Price and Applications
The Piab Vacustat-COAX vacuum pump (PMAT.AI.06.AZ) provides decentralized vacuum directly at the suction cups and saves up to 99% energy compared with a system without air saving, eliminating 50 to 80% of the consumption of centralized air-saving systems.
It reaches air-saving mode almost instantly, uses a fixed set point that needs no PLC programming, has a reliable poppet valve, a check valve on the blow-off port and a Mini Pi12-2 COAX cartridge for low feed pressures. The low-profile anodized housing offers lock pin, apple core and ball-joint mounting for PMAT tooling.
Quick Verdict
A plug-in energy saver for sealed automotive parts: air is used only to build vacuum, not to hold it.

Design and Operating Principle
With sealed parts, vacuum stays once established. The Vacustat stops air when the set vacuum is reached and restarts only if it drops, so holding phases use almost no air.
Point-of-use mounting means a tiny volume to evacuate, so it enters saving mode almost immediately and avoids micro-leakage in long hoses.
Automotive-standard mounts fit PMAT and similar EOAT systems.
Integration and Selection
Mount at each cup on sealed-part tools. No PLC programming is required for the air-saving function.
Use the blow-off port for release.
