8″ x 12″ Modular Vacuum Chuck Kits & Portable Electric Vacuum Pump
These Complete Vacuum Workholding Systems Include Everything Needed to Get Started Vacuum Workholding
Vacuum Workholding Systems: Modular Vacuum Chucks & Electric Vacuum Pump
These Complete Vacuum Workholding Systems include a selection of our 8” x 12” Modular Vacuum Chucks, Portable Electric Vacuum Pump, and all the accessories needed to get started vacuum Workholding.
Modular Vacuum Chucks are available in four (4) preconfigured Kits that include 1, 2, 3 or 4 Precision Ground, Aluminum Modular 8″ x 12″ Vacuum Chucks and accessories.
The Modular design of the 8″ x 12″ Vacuum Chucks allow you to connect multiple Vacuum Chuck Pallets to quickly create custom size, and custom vacuum workspaces.
Numbered locations on the face of the Vacuum Chuck allow for quick and repeatable set up and consistent workpiece placement. This easy repeatable workpiece positioning between Vacuum Chuck Pallets is useful for high production; load one Vacuum Chuck off-line while another is being machined.
The Modular Vacuum Chucks fit in a standard size milling vise, or attach the Vise Block to hold in milling vise opening as small as 5”. Or, hold parts on a magnetic chuck using the Steel Vise Block.
Only one Portable Electric Vacuum Pump is required for multiple connected Vacuum Chucks.
The Portable Oil Free Electric Vacuum Pump has a 10 CFM Vacuum System, with a 10.5 gallon steel tank, with a 3/4 hp oilless vacuum pump motor. The Vacuum Pump’s Adjustable Vacuum Switch Allows for automatic on/off at a set vacuum.
