Vacuum Fixing
VACUUM FIXING SYSTEMS KEEP THINGS IN PLACE
In vacuum fixing or vacuum hold down applications, suction is created by using vacuum to move air in the opposite direction of the component being held in place. When air is removed beneath the part or component, the air above pushes down. The sucking of the air does not hold down the part. The atmospheric pressure above the part pushing down is what provides the hold down force and keeps the part or component in the correct place.
Whether circuit boards, machine parts or pieces of furniture, vacuum pumps and vacuum systems from Becker are the preferred solution to fix built-in components under vacuum for precise processing.
