The universal solution for retrofitting on all CNC machining centers

The Steel-Plate is a 3 mm thick stainless-steel plate or, if the tolerance requirements are not so high, a galvanised steel plate (version Steel-Plate-LC). The plate is cut to size to fit on the existing machine table.

Both Quad-Bases and Mono-Bases can then be positioned freely on the Steel-Plate. Laser-etched markings are provided on the Steel-Plate (not version LC) to permit easier positioning. Unused vacuum apertures are sealed with the aid of sealing magnets, which must be ordered separately as accessories.

The Innospann Steel-Plate is suitable for the flexible upgrading of all machines with smooth, grid or console tables. In the case of a grid table, the Steel-Plate can be mounted directly in the slots of the machine table. For smooth tables, there are two alternatives: slots can be machined directly into the wooden table or (similar to the solution for console tables) a separate intermediate plate made of wood or Phenolic can be produced to order and mounted on the existing table.

The Steel-Plate is available in two different versions:
• For Quad-Bases with valves spaced 150 mm apart (approx. 40 sealing magnets per m2 required)
• For Mono-Bases with valves spaced 75 mm apart (approx. 160 sealing magnets per m2 required)

Dimension: as required

The flexible and efficient upgrade solution for all CNC machine tools

Steel-Plate-T and Steel-Plate-T-LC are further developments of the standard Steel-Plate: the use of magnetic valves means that it is no longer necessary to seal unused vacuum apertures manually with sealing magnets. Mono-Base-T and Quad-Base-T can be placed directly on the Steel-Plate-T and positioned freely within the area equipped with the valves. The valves then automatically supply the suction devices with vacuum. The suction blocks are initially held in position by magnets, and the workpiece is gripped by the vacuum.

Just like the Steel-Plate, the Innospann Steel-Plate-T is suitable for all machines with smooth, grid or console tables and it is installed in the manner as the Innospann Steel-Plate.

Steel-Plate-T is available in two different versions:
• For Quad-Base-T with valves spaced 150 mm apart
• For Mono-Base-T with valves spaced 75 mm apart

The quick and flexible solution for machines with grid tables

The grid table suction blocks can be mounted very quickly. They permit differing overall heights and thus even complex machining of the edges of the workpiece.

They are suitable for use on CNC machine tools with slots spaced on a 30x30 mm grid (slot size 5x5 to 7x7 mm) and on a 50x50 mm grid (slot size 5x5 to 7x7mm). The blocks are placed directly in the existing slots and equipped with the necessary suction cups for the workpiece to be machines. Differing overall heights for complex machining of the workpiece edges can be achieved for the Mini-Plate-R and Quad-Base-R with the aid of standard spacer rings, which are available as accessories.

Mini-Plate-R
Flexible solution: suction blocks can be positioned freely. System consists of Mini-Plate-R, Mono-Base-8 and suction cups Overall height: 45 mm

Quad-Base-R
Standard solution: the suction cups are plugged in and can be turned endlessly. Overall height: 45 mm

VC-R 120x120 mm
Top part of block can be turned endlessly. Complete block can be turned eccentrically on the base plate. Top suction cups replaceable. Type A with additional lift-off system.

Note: Stop systems such as the Pop-up Pin-R are shown under accessories.

For flexible positioning of workpieces

The Innospann System Mono-Base-G with hose connections is designed for universal use on all CNC machine tools with smooth tables. It ensures damage-free clamping of workpieces, high precision and maximum holding forces.

The Mono-Base-G has two vacuum connections: The vacuum applied to the first connection fixes the Mono-Base-G on the machine table to prevent it from moving during the handling of the workpiece. The vacuum applied to the second connection clamps the workpiece and the Mono-Base-G precisely and securely.

Universal clamping solution with hose connections for smooth machine tables

Just like the Mono-Base-G, this system has two vacuum connections – one to fix the Quad-Base-G and one to clamp the workpiece and the Quad-Base-G.

The Quad-Base-G can accommodate up to four standard suction cups and is delivered complete with four sealing covers. Standard suction cups and spacer rings for differing overall heights must be ordered separately. For clamping of heavy workpieces, the Quad-Base-G can also be equipped with suction cups with lift-off function.

For precise positioning of workpieces, a special Quad-Base-G for mounting of vacuum stops is available (10.01.15.00008).
