Say goodbye to conventional clamps when you add one or more of these vacuum pods to your Next Wave CNC machine table. Once connected to a suitable vacuum pump (not included—see Note, below), a vacuum pod provides a broad area of suction that will hold flat workpieces securely during machining. Rapid on/off airflow control makes vacuum pods helpful for production situations where quick part installation and removal improves efficiency. Multiple pods can be plumbed together to create an even larger contact surface. Made of high-quality HDPE, the pod comes with vacuum hose, T-splitter and mounting hardware.
Next Wave CNC Shark Vacuum Pod 6'' x 6'' Details:
Provides a broad workpiece contact surface with suction that replaces conventional workholding clamps
Can be used individually for clamping smaller workpieces or plumbed into a network of multiple vacuum pods for holding larger parts
Made of durable, high-quality HDPE
Requires connection to a vacuum pump, not included
Made in the USA
Note: Must be connected to a vacuum pump (not included) for operation. Next Wave recommends using a pump that provides a minimum flow rate of 3 CFM and develops a vacuum pressure of at least 20 in/HG (67.73 kPa or 0.6773 BAR). Higher flow rates may be necessary for multi-pod configurations.
