The VacuMate™ Vacuum Table from Datron is designed to swiftly and efficiently secure flat workpieces to the bed of a machining system. Thin stock, which could be secured only with great difficulties before, is now secured literally within seconds. Quickly secure plastic foils as thin as 0.001", all the way up to 0.250" large aluminum sheets. This vacuum table features airflow-optimized ports, with recessed chambers, to provide superior vacuum distribution. A low cost, gas-permeable substrate serves as a sacrificial vacuum diffuser, allowing the cutter to machine through the workpiece, without cutting into the table. VacuMate™ segments are 18" x 12" and can be used individually or combining as many as 4 segments for a total of 24" x 36" of work area.

VacuMate™ segments use a beveled boss-in-cavity system to insure location repeatability. A small vacuum pump is used to hold the vacuum table in place during machining operations. Integrated workholding built into the machine yields optimal cost savings, agility and flexibility.
