Wood, plastic, solid surface material,
processed wood materials or metals can be instantly and firmly secured
without marks or dents using the Her-Saf Air-Vac-Clamps. These vacuum clamps use
compressed air to safely hold materials for routing, trimming, sanding,
painting, gluing and other fabrication applications. Materials are placed
on a plate that holds via suction which allows access to the top and all
edges of the workpiece.
The Air-Vac-Clamp will stabilize any size panel or workpiece so that it
is nearly impossible to move in a lateral direction. This allows a worker
to use both hands for the job.
(See "Clamping with Air" on our
FYI page.)

The Air-Vac-Clamps easily connect to any clean compressed air line.
The system's advanced venturi non-electric pump prevents clogging or
damage by dirt or dust. The
venture pump has no moving parts and requires minimal maintenance. A foot
controlled on/off switch activates and releases the vacuum. The feet on each unit
have been drilled so that the unit can be bolted to the floor if required.
The Air-Vac-Clamp units are self-contained and arrive completely
assembled (welded steel frames), ready to use.

Specifications:
These units require a minimum of 85 pounds of air pressure on a clean compressed air line.
These units use approximately 6 CFM's (cubic feet per minute) of free air flow.
The top plate
dimensions are 11 7/8" x 15 7/8"; each is 36" from the floor with the
perimeter having a gasket of closed-cell neoprene. All Air-Vac-Clamp units can be shipped United
Parcel Service or Common Carrier.

Kit for Quick Clamp
|
When making your own top
plates use Kit #PT-QC222K. It has the plate adapter and required quick
coupler for the pump. Each top plate has a closed-cell neoprene gasket.
We recommend that custom tops be made from materials that
have high pressure laminate on both sides, or a non-porous material, thus
reducing air loss caused by the top plate or fixture. Small products can
be produced by using an intermediate fixture as shown. If the workpiece
is not flat, make the fixture to fit the form of the workpiece.

Gasket Material
The gasket material is for use with all of our vacuum clamp systems. Additional gasket material is sold in 25' long rolls. The gasket material is made of closed-cell neoprene. (Do not try to substitute weatherstripping or similar looking materials. These will allow air to escape nullifying the holding power of the vacuum.)
