VACUUM TABLE FOR PLOTTER & CUTTING SYSTEMS

Systematic Automation Inc. manufactures precision (+/-.001″ flatness per linear foot) vacuum tables for plotter & cutting systems. The precision vacuum table is used to hold down the material during the automated cutting process to keep the material in place, ensuring your desired cut out. SA vacuum tables can be outfitted with a sacrificial top skin for quick and easy replacement. Our vacuum tables are custom to your cutting / plotting system.

Plotter and cutting systems are typically used with fabrics. Included with the system are heavy duty vacuum pumps with HP to your specification for maximum hold down during the cutting process. Vacuum pumps can be configured to operate in separate zones.

The plotter and cutting systems utilize a 28mm diameter rotary blade, which allows for easy cutting of fabrics without applying direct pressure. This design ensures that the blade has minimal contact with the vacuum table, thereby extending the longevity of the sacrificial layer. For cutting tougher materials such as carbon fiber, carbide straight blades are utilized.

EQUIPMENT FEATURES

The majority of plotting and cutting systems for the canvas and sail making industries only require a blade. A sacrificial layer can be used for the top surface and can be HDPE, Porex, PVC or Polyproplyene (more options are available upon request). The layer is drilled with holes parallel to the vacuum table so that you do not lose any suction.

Additionally, we provide an array of features and customizable options to complement the vacuum table for your plotter cutter machine, such as:

Custom shaped vacuum tables
Custom designed zones with valves
Custom hole patterns
Custom bases
Sliding vacuum tables

Heated vacuum tables
Automatic pin registration
Formica table surface
Anodized table surface

FABRIC TO CARBON FIBER — THE TABLE HOLDS, THE BLADE CUTS

On a plotter/cutter, hold-down is the whole game: fabrics shift, sails wrinkle, and carbon fiber fights the blade. Our tables hold the material flat across the entire cut path, with sacrificial top skins — HDPE, Porex, PVC, or polypropylene, drilled parallel to the table so you lose no suction — that take the blade contact and swap out in minutes. Rotary-blade systems barely touch the skin, extending its life; carbide straight blades handle tougher materials like carbon fiber. Pumps come sized to your horsepower spec and can run separate zones, so a half-loaded table still pulls full vacuum where the work sits.
