The surface structure, the size of the workpiece, and the pressure differential are crucial for the clamping force / movement resistance force of the workpiece. Vacuum clamping technology is suitable for milling, grinding, turning, inspecting, spark eroding, measuring, coating, laser cutting, polishing, drilling, deburring, engraving, and assembly. Advantages of vacuum clamping: ■ Clamping of pressure-sensitive workpieces, therefore no damage or distortion to the component. ■ Clamping of very thin sheets or films. ■ 5-face machining in a single clamping. ■ No vibration during machining. ■ Reduced clamping times due to quick clamp / quick release process (< 1 second). ■ Non-magnetic materials can be clamped.
