metalworking vacuum table

Work Piece is Gently and Evenly Pulled Down
In vacuum clamping, the clamping force is not applied to the work piece mechanically, but is provided by the surrounding atmosphere. This means that the work piece is gently and evenly pulled down over the whole supporting surface.

Consequently, there is little chance for vibration. As there are no obstructing brackets, clamps or workholding nodules in the working and the loading area, there are fewer chances of collisions with the tool.

This clamping method is particularly suitable for workpieces with a large surface area, even non-metallic. If there are lateral forces the use of stop bars is recommended.
