The Matrix Plate Vacuum Clamping Systemis particularly suitable for process-safe clamping of large, flat metal workpieces with smooth bottom surfaces on CNC machining centres and guarantees very short set-up times. Even components which are difficult to clamp mechanically can be clamped easily, quickly, without distortion and precisely.

The Matrix-Plate can be secured quickly on the machine table with the aid of clamping claws or a zero-point clamping system. The modular design ensures maximum flexibility since the components are easy to handle and the various versions can be combined freely. The complexity of the workpiece geometry, the type of machining and the horizontal forces which have to be handled determine which version of the Matrix-Plate should be used.

Vacuum clamping system consisting of steel plate and aluminium vacuum blocks For the production of breakthroughs and 5-axis machining Enhancement for the Schmalz Matrix-Plate.

For more flexibility in automated production environments, Schmalz has developed the Suction Cup Balance SSCB A gripping and clamping system with automated conversion capability for 3D mould surfaces. With the same system, workpieces of different contours can be gripped and clamped - a great advantage in the automotive industry.

The Suction Cup Balance SSCB avoids expensive and lengthy conversion times It adapts flexibly to different and complex shaped components. This allows for smaller lot sizes to be produced in an economical manner. The system consists of a sturdy aluminium body with a vacuum and several compressed air connections. A flexible bellows suction pad from the resistant Vulkollan polyurethane elastomer is used in order to grip the workpiece. Around it, eight cylindrical positioning pins are arranged with wear-resistant bearing material for optimum adaptation to the respective 3D geometries.
