Precision and Stability: CNC Material and Fabric Hold-Down Solutions
Republic has more than 25 years' experience working with global machine builders, job-shops, and hobbyists who require consistent vacuum for their wood, plastic, fabric, and material cutting applications.
Republic's vacuum hold-down systems ensure precise and stable material positioning for CNC machining and fabric cutting applications. We understand the amount of vacuum and flow required varies depending on several factors such as the product being cut, the size of the table, the openness of the table, as well as the number and the size of the cuts. Fortunately, Republic offers a wide range of options to cater to different vacuum hold down situations.
Republic’s vacuum hold-down systems incorporate energy-efficient and dependable performance, helping industries achieve superior results while minimizing operational costs. Our solutions are designed to withstand the rigorous demands of CNC machining and fabric cutting environments, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. Discover how our Regenerative Blowers, Roots blowers, and Claw compressor pumps can elevate your material hold-down processes, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in every project.
Republic's Vacuum Solutions for Hold Down Applications
Republic offers various vacuum pumps to assist in application solutions for CNC Vacuum Hold Down. Republic works with many industries including part manufacturers, woodworking, printing and more. Our experts can work with you to figure out the best solution required to for your manufacturing process.
Fixturing/High Pressure Systems
Many fixturing applications require high pressure to hold small surfaces with no vibration. Applications include solid wood manufacturing, aerospace and thermoform trimming. Republic offers a diverse selection of vacuum pumps for fixturing and applications that require low flow / high pressure.
Random Shape Cutting/Job Shop/Aluminum and ACM
One of the most common uses for vacuum pumps and blowers in various CNC applications is random shape cutting and job shop work. Applications include cabinets, MDF doors, plastics, aluminum, ACM and much more. Republic products can assist in many applications. The type of pump used primarily depends on the type of material, part size, and sheet size.
Flexible Materials
The sign making industry uses a broad range of materials for CNC carving, including aluminum, plastics, wood, sign foam, etc. Often the parts are nested before cutting to optimize material usage. Nesting creates random part placement on the sheet and requires both vacuum pressure and flow to maximize part hold down. Our sales engineers can assist with selecting the right blower or vacuum pump to fit your optimal manufacturing process.
