1. A custom “sacrificial plate” was made to cover the multi-power vacuum clamping plate for machining of thin and delicate parts.
2. Sacrificial plate is easily secured to multi-power vacuum clamping plate via four flat head screws.
3. To maximise the flexibility of the machining process, four multi-power vacuum clamping plates have been connected together and are run from one standalone vacuum pump. Here three very diff erent components are being held; one long workpiece even stretches across two vacuum units.
4. Multi-power vacuum clamping plates are suitable for large and small components. In this application six units have been connected together to achieve a very large clamping area of approx. 1200 x 700 mm.
5. To hold delicate components, a customer pallet has been designed; vacuum ports were accessed through the pallet with a grid pattern to suit the component. Grid is sealed using supplied vacuum gasket to create vacuum seal.
6. Workpieces are aligned to the vacuum seal and loaded. Air supply is initiated and workpieces are clamped ready for machining.
