Rational clamping of wood and plastic sheets.

Vacuum clamping systems for CNC machines for manufacture of large, flat parts made of wood or plastic save time, improve productivity and quality, simplify parts handling, optimise the material flow and thus ensure maximum utilisation of the existing machines.

The persons responsible for the manufacture of wood and plastic parts, for example for bathroom, kitchen and office furniture, are becoming increasingly aware that it is not sufficient to simply invest in a new, high-performance CNC machine. In the long term, the desired rationalisation effects can be achieved only with a perfectly matched combination of machine, tools and clamping system. For initial equipment or retrofitment of CNC machines and machining centres, the vacuum specialists J.Schmalz GmbH offer a comprehensive range of vacuum clamping systems: VC-T – the hose-free suction block system for high flexibility, VC-G – the proven suction block system with hose connections for smooth machine tables and VC-K1 – the new generation of suction blocks for CNC machines with console tables.

All components and systems are presented in a 12-page brochure, where they are described and illustrated. Application and installation hints are also provided. The suction blocks are available in various designs and sizes, permitting individual clamping solutions to be implemented cheaply from the standard product range to meet almost any requirement.
