Task Plate/Vacuum Hold-Down Table
Task Plate
On the Fusion Pro, the Task Plate is used as the
standard engraving table for jobs that do not include
vector cutting. The Task Plate is stainless steel and
allows you to use magnets to hold oddly shaped
items in place. On the Fusion Pro 48 there are two task
plates, allowing you the option to split your table to
both engrave and cut materials in the same process
with a Vector Grid or Slat Table.
Vacuum Hold-Down Table
The lower exhaust port on the back of the Fusion Pro 32 and 48 pulls air down through the table. The holes
in the Task Plate provide vacuum hold-down capability that keeps thin materials flat while engraving.
The exhaust system is designed so that it evacuates from both the top and the bottom of the task plate
when the task plate is at its highest position. The exhaust pulls air through the holes and forms enough
of a vacuum that it will flatten slightly warped paper, wood, aluminum sheet stock and other materials.
As long as the exhaust is operating and the Task Plate is no more than an inch (25.4 mm) below its highest
point, the Vacuum Table will work.
If you have a piece of sheet stock that does not flatten out because it is not covering enough
of the vacuum holes, you can use any material (including paper) to cover some of the exposed
holes. Simply blocking most of the vacuum holes will be enough to flatten most sheet stock
as long as it is not too severely warped, bent or too rigid. Magnets can be used to hold oddly
shaped items in place if needed.
Exhaust Plenum
The Fusion Pro incorporates an Exhaust Plenum and an integrated Vacuum Hold-Down Table. Both the
Exhaust Plenum and the hold-down table use the airflow from the exhaust fan for two distinct functions.
1. Exhaust Plenum: The exhaust fan moves air from the front towards the rear of your machine and
out the exhaust plenum. This air removes combustible gases and smoke through the exhaust
plenum. The Fusion Pro has risers underneath the Task Plate(s) with vent holes that are larger
toward the front of the machine and smaller toward the back of the machine to provide uniform air
flow through the entire table area. There is one exhaust port at the back of the Fusion Pro 32 and
two at the back of the Fusion Pro 48.
2. Vacuum Hold-Down Table: The lower exhaust port on the back of the Fusion Pro 32 and 48 pulls air
down through the table.
