The
U-Mach Kit comes with twelve pressure-activated ball valves allowing you
to construct a Mini Mach vacuum hold down work bed. M.POWER also sell
these ball valves as accessories in sets of six allowing you to adapt
and customise your vacuum systems and build bespoke work beds and jigs.
Each valve is capable of controlling airflow to a vacuum cell and seals
air-tight when not activated. This ensures that the matrix of vacuum cells
maintains vacuum integrity so that only those cells activated by downward
pressure from the workpiece will allow air evacuation to occur.
What does this mean in the real world? Well ever considered holding down
multiple workpieces at once on a single bed. With the M.POWER vacuum clamping
system we provide you with the modular components required to build clamping
beds that can hold as many pieces as you have ball valves and gasket material.
Imagine your cabinet shop with a jig that holds 12, 20 or even 50 components
for machining at one time. No obstruction or marking, and the workpieces
are released at the turn of a lever.
