The adapter plate for cut-through operations with extra workpiece clamping!

For simple and complex shaped workpieces. For flexible clamping with average clamping force.

How it works

These vacuum adapter plates can only be used with the Tepas VacuMat-T-R or PerfoMat-T-R mats. Micro holes have been made in the clamping surface of this adapter plate. The very small micro holes limit the leakage of the vacuum with smaller workpieces or when workpieces are cut through. The Tepas PerfoMat mats have larger holes that enlarge the vacuum sealed zone.

The clamping elements are optional, for additional clamping of the workpiece allowing higher speeds or heavier machining.

The benefits

• Limited vacuum leakage meaning a high clamping force can be achieved.
• Suitable for both light and heavy machining.
• Cutting through is possible without the vacuum chuck being damaged, when VacuMat-R or PerfoMat-R are used.
• Additional clamping force is possible as an option by means of hold-down clamps in T slots.

Clamping and positioning

This circular adapter plate is used on the BaseChuck-R modular vacuum chuck.
