(or several) Matrix-Plates to increase the flow rate. NOTE To prevent leakage where the Matrix-Plates adjoin, we recommend that a separate vacuum chamber be delimited on each Matrix-Plate using the sealing gaskets. 01 | Matrix-Plate SMPL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 0489081...
Wear ear protectors. • CAUTION Vacuum close to the eye Severe eye injury! Wear eye protection. • Do not look into vacuum openings, e.g. suction cups. • 01 | Matrix-Plate SMPL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 0489081...
Contamination can affect the position of the workpiece zero point. Check that the space between the stop and the Matrix-Plate is • clear before each clamping process. 01 | Matrix-Plate SMPL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 0489081...

The vacuum clamping force cannot be increased or multiplied at will. Therefore, the specialist personnel responsible should select the processing parameters such that the cutting forces acting on the workpiece are minimal. 01 | Matrix-Plate SMPL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 0489081...
Matrix-Plate, which also leads to leakage. Sealing gasket extends to the bottom of the slot and protrudes 0.2 to 0.5 mm over the top edge of the Matrix-Plate. 01 | Matrix-Plate SMPL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 0489081...
(1) must be opened within the area limited by the sealing gasket. When the plugs are removed, the operating vacuum is fed from the Matrix-Plate to the surface. 01 | Matrix-Plate SMPL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 0489081...
The supplied gauge must be used to check whether the intended operating vacuum is reached. The SCHUNK vacuum units designed for operation of the Matrix- Plates support the monitoring process with audible and electronic warning devices. 01 | Matrix-Plate SMPL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 0489081...
9. Ensure that only authorized personnel are present in the working area of the machine or system and that no other personnel are put in danger by switching on the machine. 01 | Matrix-Plate SMPL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 0489081...
Possible causes for a vacuum drop include: • Power failure • Sudden leakage • Line break • Malfunction • Perforation in the workpiece due to machining • Contaminated filter on the vacuum vent 01 | Matrix-Plate SMPL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 0489081...
