Clamping Systems for Metal and Plastic Processing

Vacuum Clamping System Matrix-Plate

Applications
Universal Clamping of Flat Workpieces with Flat
Undersides
• For workpieces made of aluminum and other non-
ferromagnetic materials such as CFK or plastic
• Short set-up times due to simple handling
• Modular structure allows flexible adaptation to the
workpiece geometry and the type of processing
• Enlargement of clamping area possible by connecting
several matrix plates
• Simple mounting on the machine table using clam-
ping claws or a zero point clamping system
• Mechanical stops serve as positioning aids and for
taking up additional lateral forces
• Production of recesses can be easily achieved in
Vacuum clamping system Matrix-Plate with friction pads machining and shaping a combination with the Innospann Steel-Plate
specialist glove (see page 10)

Patented Friction Pads for
Main body made of high-strength aluminum 30% Greater Shear Force Absorption

Friction pads

Friction pad deactivated Friction pad activated
• Extremely strong holding forces generates reliable
clamping
• Gentle handling, as friction pads apply no additional
Vacuum connection force on the workpiece
• Automatic activation and deactivation by means of
vacuum supply
• Oil and ozone resistant, can be individually replaced
when worn
