STEP 2(a) OF 2 TO IMPROVE CNC ROUTER VACUUM HOLD: Making Dedicated Fixtures for Production Parts

In Board Gasket for CNC Router Vacuum Hold Down for Production Run Parts

When operating your CNC Router for repetitive parts, the best solution may very well be to make a dedicated vacuum fixture. When using a non-porous fixture material, a vacuum source can be created for each piece, reducing vacuum loss. Using a non-porous fixture board also greatly reduces the vacuum loss that would occur through the sides and exposed tool paths of a porous board, like MDF. Adhesive backing keeps the gasket material in the pre-routed channels.

In-Board Gasket is intended for long-term use applications. We call these dedicated fixtures as opposed to spoil boards. In-Board Gasket is longer lasting than surface mounted gasket because it is recessed into the fixture. When the vacuum is engaged, the gasket can only compress down the height of the fixture. We recommend a 3-to-1 ratio in terms of how much sticks above the fixture surface.

A dedicated fixture can be used over and over again. Many customers create a Library of Dedicated Fixture for their production run parts. When you use a dedicated fixture you are no longer down drafting. You are vacuum clamping. The part will not move. No need for Onion Skinning or Tabs. You can run your CNC Router faster with cleaner cuts.
