Quality Vacuum Tables Required for CNC Cutting Systems

CNC plotting and cutting applications require reliable hold down force when cutting through various materials such as fabric, canvas, polymers or metals. Automated computer numerically controlled (CNC) processes are highly efficient with precision accuracy and minimal labor required. Supporting these processes with equally efficient, precision vacuum hold down provides high quality production with little to no change over time. 

When cutting through fabrics, a sacrificial layer provides protection to the table top surface. Sacrificial layers may consist of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), PVC or a polypropylene. A 28mm rotary blade easily cuts through fabric without pushing it downward and will reduce wear and tear on the sacrificial layer. Cutting through sturdier material such as carbon fiber requires a carbon blade.
