Efficient Clamping of Aluminium Cubes with Vacuum Clamping System Matrix-Plate

In the metalwork industry metal workpieces are clamped and held in a CNC machining center for processing.

This application shows a Matrix-Plate in use on a CNC machining centre. It is secured to the machine table with the aid of mechanical clamping elements. The use of vacuum makes it possible to clamp the thin bases of the workpieces precisely and without distortion for five-axis machining without repositioning. The vacuum is generated by the powerful vacuum unit VAGG from Schmalz. The compact design makes it suitable for mobile use. It has castors and a handle by which it can be moved ergonomically to the desired position.
