Sealing gasket does not extend
all the way to the bottom of the
slot.
Intersecting grooves can lead to
connections to the atmosphere
and allow cooling lubricants or
dirt particles to enter the
system.
Sealing gasket does not extend
over the upper edge of the
Matrix-Plate.
A vacuum cannot be generated.
Position the workpiece on the Matrix-Plate and correct the
position of the sealing gasket if necessary. Ensure that the sealing
gasket is completely covered by the workpiece. This is the only
way to ensure that the required vacuum can be built up.
Note:
If several Matrix-Plates are connected to one another, we
recommend inserting a separate sealing gasket for each Matrix-
Plate.
If the sealing gasket is laid over the joint, this must be sealed (e.g.
with silicone).
7.3.4 Clamping the Workpiece
Once the sealing gasket has been inserted according to the
workpiece geometry, at least one vacuum vent (1) must be opened
within the area limited by the sealing gasket. When the plugs are
removed, the operating vacuum is fed from the Matrix-Plate to the
surface.
