The FAB vacuum table stands out for its quick and secure clamping for a wide variety of materials such as plywood, MDF, plastics, foams, and even metal sheets. Thanks to its high clamping strength via vacuum (690 m³/h, -335 mbar), this table eliminates the need for traditional clamping methods like screws or staples, which are time-consuming and generally less efficient. The vacuum technology ensures uniform and firm clamping, reducing the risk of movement or misalignment during machining. It is also noted for its excellent adaptability, working with a wide range of panel sizes without the need for additional adjustments. It is compatible with full panels and small pieces of 200 x 200 mm, ensuring great versatility.

Available Packages

Depending on the user's existing CNC machining setup and project needs, the user can choose between two versions of the FAB vacuum table: basic and complete.

The Basic Configuration offers a cost-effective solution for those with fewer requirements, while still maintaining high-quality standards. This version includes only the HPL Plenum panels and the PP piping system with valves. This solution provides the user with the flexibility to purchase their own pump and build the spoiler board with customized specifications. The basic package is ideal for users looking for a customizable approach while minimizing the initial investment.
