Clamping Innospann

The vacuum clamping system Innospann enables every CNC machining centre to be retrofitted independently of manufacturer or type. Modernization facilitates fast and flexible changeover with frequent product changes – for efficient manufacturing processes starting from batch size ”one“. Schmalz thus provides an economic alternative to investment in a new machine.

Solutions by Retrofitting the Machine Table

The machine table is retrofitted by installing a Steel-Plate on a grid plate. For grid tables, the existing grid can be used. Flat and console tables require an intermediate plate with grid. The grid can also be milled directly into a flat table. The integrated vacuum grooves avoid separate hosing. The vacuum blocks can be freely positioned on the Steel-Plate.

Retrofitting the Machine Table

  • Vacuum clamping system for retrofitting CNC machining centres with flat, grid or console table
  • Facilitates efficient and flexible batch size ”one "and small series production especially for the manufacture of furniture
  • The suction cup mountings Mono-Base and Quad-Base are fitted with suction cups and can be positioned freely on the Steel-Plate
  • A lasered grid of coordinates provides orientation assistance
  • Unused vacuum openings can be closed manually using sealing magnets
  • Variable total height through various suction cup heights and optional spacer rings


Solutions Without Retrofitting the Machine Table

As an alternative to a complete retrofit, Schmalz provides vacuum block models which can be set directly onto the existing machine table. The Adapter-Plate for console tables provides additional flexibility in the positioning of the vacuum blocks.
