Applications Which Benefit from Vacuum Hold down Systems

Vacuum hold down systems are beneficial to a wide range of processes such as computer numerically controlled (CNC) work processes, grinding and cutting.  Vacuum table systems are used in many industrial and commercial applications to hold products securely in place during additional precision work. Vacuum tables are used to hold various substrates in place such as metals, canvases, plastics, paper, cardboard and plexiglass to name just a few.

Applications which benefit from vacuum hold down systems include:

• Engraving - engraving requires precision work while your product is held firmly in place with no chance of slipping. Engraving processes and CNC engraving applications require consistent, reliable vacuum hold down force to achieve maximum productivity with precision quality work.
• Plotter cutter - vacuum table systems assist putting and cutting applications by holding materials firmly in place for accurate and efficient work processes. Sacrificial layers help to protect the vacuum table surface when necessary.
• Screen Printing – screen printing on various items requires precision accuracy. Vacuum hold down tables assist screen printing processes on flat products such as canvases, cardboard, paper or plexiglass. Rotating vacuum platens may be incorporated in cylindrical printing machines to hold mugs and glasses in place for precision screen printing.
• Flexography – vacuum tables support many commercial and industrial manufacturing applications such as production of graphic rubber rolls for flexography machines. Optimal vacuum hold down force should be designed to specific application requirements.
• Canvas and Sail Making – designing and cutting large canvas sails requires the material to write flat and even for accuracy and consistency.
• Material Handling – many material handling systems utilize vacuum conveyors to parts secure while transporting from one area to another.
