Description

Overview:
The Braillon Type VRS Grid Type Vacuum Chuck is a precision-machined aluminum workholding system designed for milling, grinding, EDM, and turning applications. A rubber sealing cord is routed through a grid of intersecting grooves to outline the perimeter of the workpiece. When connected to a vacuum pump, atmospheric pressure clamps the part firmly against the chuck surface — delivering maximum holding force with zero mechanical contact on the workpiece edges. Available in two groove pitches: 12.5 mm (Ø 3 mm cord) for complex geometries, and 25 mm (Ø 5 mm cord) for maximum clamping force on flat raw parts.
Key Features:
  • Precision Ground Surface: Flatness and parallelism of 0.02 mm per 100 mm as standard — suitable for grinding, EDM, and metrology.
  • Two Sealing Cord Options: Ø 3 mm cord for complex or irregular part outlines; Ø 5 mm cord for large flat parts requiring maximum holding force.
  • Fully Modular System: Multiple chucks can be bolted together to create a larger clamping surface for oversized workpieces or batch machining.
  • Through-Bored Machining Ready: Use with an adapter mat to perform full-depth profiling and cut-out operations without losing vacuum.
  • Dry and Wet Machining Compatible: Suitable for use with cutting fluid when paired with the VAL-SEP vacuum unit (Ref. 30.10.XX.70).
  • No Electricity at the Chuck: The clamping force is generated by vacuum — no electrical connections at the workpiece or chuck body.
  • 16 Standard Sizes in Stock: From 200×100 mm (1.8 kg) to 1000×400 mm (48 kg). Custom sizes available on request.
Applications:
Ideal for precision engineering, metalworking, aerospace, automotive, and electronics manufacturing. The Type VRS is the preferred workholding solution when mechanical clamps cannot be used — thin parts, delicate surfaces, complex shapes, or when all six faces of the workpiece must be accessible. Suitable for aluminum, steel, copper, brass, glass, plastic, wood, and composite materials.
