Flow Through Vacuum Hold Down Technology

With a high-volume vacuum pump on a CNC router and flow-through vacuum work holding, there is virtually zero setup time in a nested-based work cell. This work cell can literally produce one part at the same rate it can produce one hundred.

 

This is a critical advantage over manual machines that need to be adjusted for every part or series of parts.

 

This also has a big advantage over a CNC point-to-point machine because there are no individual programs to write or load, no rails to adjust, and no special considerations to be made for through-cutting.

 

Keep in mind that no machine in any shop makes a dime for its company unless the tool is into work! If a machine is down for programming, set-up, maintenance, etc. it isn’t making money.


Dedicated Fixture Boards

Superior holding on parts that cannot be held with flow through vacuum technology, allows for precise vacuum placement and enables full side machining.

 

A dedicated spoilboard is machined for a specific part(s) with air port holes to allow for vacuum to pull directly on the material. With the use of a gasket to seal off a particular section of a table, the vacuum holes are opened under the specified area allowing for direct suction on the part(s). The fixture can easily be placed and removed from the table to allow for ease of machine setup.


Modular Pod System
With the universal grid table system, Komo offers you the ability to use pods to raise parts off the table and allow for full side machining. The pods tie directly into the vacuum table allowing for dedicated suction on each part.

 

Similar to a dedicated fixture, these pods can be easily configured to any position you need. Measure them out on the table or incorporate an overhead laser system for quick and easy setup.


Automated Extrusion Fixture System
This extrusion clamping system allows for quick and reliable holding of aluminum extrusions. Simply load your extrusion and the ready light will illuminate once it is positioned correctly. Then just push the button and the clamps activate to give you a powerful hold.

 

This system is available in either a 10 foot or 12 foot model.


Custom Clamping Solutions
Looking for a way to hold your custom part, Komo has the answer by being able to design custom work holding solutions. Our custom clamping system can be hydraulic or pneumatic and takes the worry about holding odd shaped parts.

 

Contact Komo Machine for any custom clamping solution.


Pressure Foot System
Using Komo Machine's Pressure Foot System it is now easier then ever to machine multiple sheets of aluminum in one machining process. This innovative idea starts with our Router-CIM Automation Suite programming software which automates the process of nesting parts, placing tabs and creating tab removal cycles.

 

This innovative process will immediately increase your throughput and give you the productivity gains you demand. 


Roller Hold Down System

Designed to process stacked sheets of material, Komo’s roller hold-down system is ideal for furniture manufacturers, boat builders and RV manufacturers.

 

Simple, reliable proximity switch electronics provides automatic raising and lowering of the roller platens. No control interface is required.

 

The roller hold-down option may be included in new machine purchases or retrofitted to selected single table Komo CNC router models.
