Vacuum Blocks VCBL-R 30/40

Clamping of workpieces in grid and nesting applications with maximum flexibility.

With the VCBL-R vacuum block, you can clamp workpieces of all kinds, from rough or textured surfaces to solid wood.

With the extensive portfolio of dimensions and clamping heights, you can release any clamping task. The suction plate can be replaced quickly and without tools, and is also equipped with a membrane. This protects the workpiece from direct contact with the touch valve, which comes as standard, and at the same time prevents the ingress of dirt.

The optional lifting system facilitates the loading and unloading of large, bulky workpieces and protects the sealing edge of the suction plate. The additional hose connection, available as an accessory, enables use at any position on the grid table, even if there is no suction point below the suction cup.

The nesting insert, which allows the suction cup to be used on the nesting plate and thus makes it universally applicable, is also available as an accessory. The time-consuming conversion of another type of block suction cup between grid and nesting applications is now a thing of the past.

Further information

Does the clamping height change if the VCBL-R is fitted with a nesting insert and used on the nesting table?

Yes, inserting the nesting insert increases the clamping height by 7 mm.

Can the VCBL-R be combined with the VCMC-R-QUICK frame clamp?

Yes, the VCBL-R can be combined with the VCMC-R-QUCIK at a clamping height of 45 mm.

The suction points on my grid table are too far apart so that not every suction cup is supplied with vacuum. How can I solve this?

The additional vacuum connection in the accessories can be used for this purpose. Suction cups that are already supplied with vacuum then serve as a bypass.

What is the reason if the workpiece moves or releases during milling?

First check the suction plate and the sealing frame of the vacuum block. If these are in good condition, check the gauge and the filter of the main pump.

Can I also clamp rough or structured workpieces?

This is possible with the VCSP-O MOS suction plate from the accessories.

How do I choose the correct grid dimension for my CNC machining center?

The respective groove dimensions are specified in the technical data of the products.
The illustration shows how to correctly measure the grid dimension (1), the groove width (2) and the groove depth (3).

Are products from 2024 onwards compatible with their predecessors?

Available in heights of 25, 45 and 125 mm, the vacuum blocks are compatible with the predecessor products from 2024.
