PLANOS - the universal clamping system

High-strength aluminum base body
Modular system can be expanded to increase the effective suction area
High precision (height tolerance +/-0.02 mm)
Short set-up times and simple handling
Mechanical back stops as positioning aids and for absorption of additional shearing forces
High degree of flexibility due to modular design principle
Simple production of cut-outs and recesses using a combination of matrix plate with grid table suction devices
Up to 30% greater holding forces thanks to optional friction islands
Automatic activation and deactivation of friction islands via vacuum supply

New for SCHUNK: Matrix plates with friction islands

Up to 30% greater horizontal holding forces
Friction islands exert no additional force on the workpiece
Oil and ozone-resistant, can be replaced individually when worn out
Automatic activation and deactivation via vacuum supply

Reliably clamping complex workpieces

PLANOS matrix plates are available with a wide range of different grid dimensions. For simple workpieces, only rough grid dimensions are required. For complex workpieces, the precise grid dimensions offered by matrix plates ensure that the caulking strip is positioned close to cut-outs and recesses, thus allowing flexible sealing of cut-outs, retaining the system vacuum and minimizing losses of clamping force.

Complex workpiece
Complex geometric structure, several tabs and recesses/ cut-outs, Tab width < 30 mm
Recommendation: Grid dimension 12,5 mm x 12,5 mm

Simple workpiece
Simple geometric structure, few tabs and recesses/cut-outs, Tab width > 30 mm
Recommendation: Grid dimension 25 mm x 25 mm
