Modular Vacuum Chuck and Pallet System: "The Vac-Vise"

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 >>>.
