Workpiece clamping \ Technical introduction – vacuum clamping technology

Component-free clamping
Innovative ATORN vacuum clamping technology

where setup time and dependability are key considerations
the vacuum clamping system is particularly suitable for reliably clamping fl at, level-bottomed
workpieces to be gently clamped and machined with minimised setup times.
we off er innovative and sophisticated solutions in this regard with plenty of accessories - for opti-
mal and individual clamping.
when it comes to precision and the need to machine workpieces made of aluminium, non-ferrous
metals, graphite, plastic, glass, wood, ceramics, titanium and steel, ATORN clamping plate sets
provide an excellent working basis. these allow you to clamp your workpieces precisely and fi rmly,
facilitating excellent working results in milling or drilling applications.
vacuum systems grip the workpiece by suction and provide an excellent hold. application of a
Venturi nozzle or vacuum pump is tried and tested.

why you can achieve more with ATORN vacuum clamping technology
one set, two possibilities. this is what distinguishes the new ATORN vacuum clamping system.
the Venturi principle provides an economical option for getting started with vacuum clamping technology for short-term use. the vacuum is created through direct
connection to the compressed air supply without vacuum unit. for energy-saving continuous use in series production, a vacuum unit is recommended.
clamping can be achieved indirectly by means of sandwich adapter mats or directly on a grid plate. the use of adapter mats off ers two major advantages:
 production of openings when machining workpieces
 signifi cant reduction of re-clamping times as no sealing cords are required compared to direct grid plate support
application:
holds workpieces during milling, turning, grinding, polishing, drilling, reaming, countersinking, engraving, eroding, testing, measuring and coating.
