Holdfast Vacuum Systems Improve Many CNC Applications

Many computer numerically controlled (CNC) applications require a reliable holdfast vacuum table during cutting and grinding processes. CNC router vacuum tables provide consistent hold down force to keep substrates firmly in place for improved product quality and throughput. Vacuum tables are utilized across a broad range of industries and applications, enhancing CNC processes worldwide. 

CNC router vacuums improve product quality, efficiency and throughput in many applications including: 

Plotter cutter systems – plotter cutter processes require significant holdfast vacuum force during delicate cutting applications such as cutting canvases and sails. Using a sacrificial layer will protect the vacuum surface from damage when cutting through flexible materials. When cutting through more durable and strengthened materials a carbide blade is used for additional force. 

Sail and canvas making applications – cutting out large canvases for boat sails requires reliable holdfast vacuum force during CNC cutting applications for precision to meet design specifications and improved productivity. 

Engraving processes – CNC engraving processes require a consistently flat and reliable CNC vacuum table to hold substrates secure while engraving. 

Flexography processes – Flexography machines used in the manufacturing process of making rubber rolls and plates requires consistent vacuum force to remove oxygen from the process while maintaining air flow.

Flame Pretreatment Systems Aids Plastic Adhesion

Flame pretreatment systems are beneficial in many applications which require the adhesion of surface coating such as screen printing inks or applying laminates, varnishes and lacquers to plastic products. Plastics and various polymers are typically nonporous which deters them from bonding with surface treatments. Pretreatment machines are proven to be highly effective at altering the plastic surface without altering the visual aesthetics of the product. 

Flame treatment machines quickly alter the plastic surface, causing an invisible molecular reaction to the surface which allows the product to adhere to surface treatments. 


Pretreating Plastics is Proven Highly Effective

Flame pretreating systems are proven to be effective and safe, as opposed to chemical treatments which can pose a safety risk to employees. Flame treating is effective, safe and cost-efficient over chemical treating as there is no need to purchase, store or dispose of chemicals and employees are not exposed to toxic fumes or by products. Products pass through a flame treatment machine so quickly that the product is not altered and there is no health hazard. 

Flame treating is also conducive to producing a higher level of quality in production as the exposure is consistent. With consistent flame exposure, products are treated evenly as opposed to chemical application which could leave an uneven surface due to evaporation. Flame pretreating systems are used in many processes to improve surface bonding and adhesions including the following: 



  • Painting
  • Coating 
  • Bonding
  • Laminating

Systematic Automation is a leading manufacturer of high performance flame pretreatment machines, screen printers, vacuum systems and UV curing equipment.
