Vacuum Chucks for Workholding

Modular Vacuum Chucks - for Vacuum Chuck Workholding & Fixturing.

---

The 2L Vac-Vise Vacuum Chuck is a modular vacuum chuck system that eliminates the need to create custom fixtures and allows easy prototyping of workpieces.

The 8 x 12" x 1.45" Modular Vacuum Chuck can be used as a single Vacuum Chuck or combine several of our Modular Vacuum Chuck Pallets and increase the workholding area.

Four preconfigured Vacuum Chuck Kits with 1, 2, 3 or 4 Vacuum Chuck Pallets are available.  Additional Vacuum Chuck Pallets can be added to further increase the size of your vacuum workholding area.

We also offer larger vacuum chucks:  18" x 36" and 24" x 48"  <<< view here >>>.



Numbered locations on the face of each Vacuum Chuck allows for quick set up and consistent workpiece placement. Additional Side and End Work Stops (shown above) assist with workpiece location.

The Vac-Vise Modular Vacuum Chuck can be also be used as a pallet workholding/fixturing system (without using the vacuum) using the 2L Adjustable Workstops and Edge Clamps,.  The Adjustable Workstops and Edge clamps can hold a wide variety of workpieces and eliminates the need for custom fixtures.

* The Vac-Vise Modular Vacuum Chuck Workholding System has a U.S. utility patent pending.

• Side and End Workstops locate the workpiece consistently.
• Drill through workpieces.
  
  • Precision ground, replaceable aluminum plate (8" x 12" x 3/8") is available to cover the surface of the Vacuum Chuck. It allows drilling through or machining around the outside of workpieces without damaging the vacuum chuck. Click for more info.
  • The low slip Vacuum Gasket Sheets allow drilling through the workpieces without damage to the Pallet.
• Vac-Vise can be used as a Vacuum Chuck or a Pallet System using low profile Adjustable Edge Clamps and Workstops.
• Low profile Adjustable Edge Clamps and Workstops reduce set up time and eliminate the need for custom fixtures.
