Techno vacuum table and accessories are designed to be as universal as possible. Techno understands that fixturing parts can be the most complex part of manufacturing. With Techno’s vacuum table we allow for both Mechanical and Vacuum fixturing. What does this mean? If you are processing sheets of material such as MDF, Melamine, Plastic, Foam or any other sheet like material, vacuum hold-down is an excellent solution. If you are processing small or irregular shaped products then you may want to utilize vacuum along with mechanical clamps. With Techno’s universal vacuum table you can achieve both. With the “T” slots built into the vacuum table it is easy to mount gates for banking your material against which lines the material up square to the axis of travel. In addition Techno’s vacuum tables are zoned. If you are processing small parts then you do not require the entire machines vacuum table to be wide open, rather just a small section. Techno’s vacuum tables are also easily customizable. Techno’s vacuum tables are channeled which allow gasketing material to be routed around the vacuum table. The channels cut into the table are placed on a 1.0″ grid therefore the gasketing can be formed to any pattern to fixture small parts. In areas along the open zone where vacuum is not required simply utilizing the rubber plugs will close off the other vacuum ports in the zone. This flexibility makes the job easier and setup minimal.

Techno’s vacuum tables have independent zones. These
zones run  the length of the table. If for example you had
a 5 x 8 machine and wanted to cut a 12″x 12 part you
would simple shut off the other 5 zones and install the
rubber plugs in the areas not being used.
