Specifications:
A vacuum control panel with a gauge system on a Biesse CNC machine monitors and regulates the negative pressure required to clamp workpieces securely to the table or pods.
- Vacuum Pressure Gauges: Analog or digital meters mounted on the operator station or pump manifold display real-time negative pressure (typically in inches of mercury, bar, or kPa) to verify holding force before cutting begins.
- Control Valves & Actuators: Manual foot pedals, pneumatic toggle switches, or solenoid-driven zones (such as Biesse’s ATS or Easy Zone setups) route vacuum to specific table quadrants or individual pods.
- Vacuum Switch / Sensors: Safety pressure switches interlock with the CNC controller (like legacy CNI or modern numerical controls), preventing the machine cycle from starting if the vacuum level drops below a safe threshold
