In modular chucks additional holes
can be drilled in the green areas to
allow insertion of pins for positioning.

Witte VAC-MATTM Application
What is VAC-MATTM ?
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-MATTM 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-MATTM?
All VAC-MATTMs are 2,5 x 200 x 300 mm. The tolerance lies at +/- 0,04mm and concave
upto 0,1mm. To increase the size of the working area, the modular VAC-MATTM
chucks are connected to one another and VAC-MATTM s are simply placed on as
described.
What is the minimum work piece dimension for VAC-MATTM?
Minimum 50% of each mat must be covered by the workpiece.
Is VAC-MATTM reusable?
The working life of a VAC-MATTM depends on the number and size of cuts made into
the mat during machining.
Operating temperature for VAC-MATTM
Vac-MatTM, available in RED, BLUE and GREEN versions can be used at 40°C without
any limitations
The lugs underneath the mat guarantee
fast and accurate positioning of
the VAC-MATTM on the special modular
vacuum chuck
The modular concept allows connection
of several vacuum chucks. The
vacuum supply to each chuck continues
through the connection elements.
