Witte Vac-Mat™
What is VAC-MAT ?
It is a thin soft polymer mat with many spaced out vacuum points, suckers in different sizes with a fine hole in each centre and a raised lip. On the underside there are six lugs which locate in the special VAC-MAT™ chuck. On the mat under surface there are grid shaped grooves which distribute the vacuum to each of the small holes. A lip right around the outside edge ensures no leakage.
What size is VAC-MAT™?
All VAC-MAT™s are 2,5 x 200 x 300 mm. The tolerance lies at +/- 0,04mm and concave up to 0,1mm. To increase the size of the working area, the modular VAC-MAT™ chucks are connected to one another and VAC-MAT™s are simply placed on.
Is VAC-MAT™ reusable?
The working life of a VAC-MAT™ depends on the number and size of cuts made into the mat during machining.
Operating temperature for VAC-MAT™?
VAC-MAT™, available in RED, BLUE and GREEN versions can be used at 40°C without any limitations.
