This customer gained a new
appreciation for vacuum workholding when we increased his production
seven-fold. Shown above is a Vac-U-Lok VUL-818SS Single-Station Vacuum
Chuck (8" wide by 18" long on 1/2" centers) with a custom-made
adapter plate on a Fadal Machining Center.

return system (if coolant is needed). These packages are perfect for
metal working and plastics. Call us today at (815) 962-1VAC (1822) with

complete package, including the vacuum chuck (cubed or flat), adapter plate,
base plate, end support, rotary union assembly with dump valve(s), vacuum

Vacuum workholding is perfect for holding those
hard to hold computer circuit boards in a water jet machining application.
With our new automatic coolant return system, we separate the water and return
it to the water jet process. This product is also excellent for EDM
applications. Please call us with your special application.
Vacuum workholding makes productivity simple
and profitable. Shown here is a Vac-U-Lok VUL-3240MS Multi-Station Vacuum
Chuck (32" wide by 40" long on 1" centers). The unit is
holding nine (9) workpieces securely, controlled by three (3) separate zones
(shown on right). This customer is experiencing an excellent return on his
investment over using his old, ordinary vises with three (3) workpieces at a
time. Call us today! Let us show you how to make $$ money $$ with
vacuum workholding!!!
This customer manufactures pool cues for the
recreation industry. The old way of doing things (on left) with clamps was
the slow, manual way. They need more production! The new, more efficient
way of doing things (in middle and on right) they discovered was with vacuum
workholding. We made them a custom-made vacuum chuck to fix their
application. Please call us today. We look forward to hearing from
you.
