Description Modular matrix plate for clamping flat workpieces and workpieces with a plane base. Field of application Clamping of aluminum Clamping of non-ferromagnetic materials Clamping of plastics Advantages – Your benefits Easy handling Short set-up times High-strength aluminum base body Distortion-free clamping of flat and thin components Mechanical back stops attached at the side Simple positioning of the workpiece and additional absorption of shearing forces Patented friction islands as an option Increase in the holding forces by up to 30% without deformation of the workpiece Support plate in combination with cups Enables 5-sided machining and simple production of cut-outs and recesses Modular system Flexible design of the workpiece Options and special information PLANOS matrix plates from SCHUNK clamp flat workpieces and workpieces with a flat bottom reliably and quickly. They ensure minimal set-up times for machining centers. Even components that are difficult to clamp mechanically are child's play with PLANOS, which holds them precisely and without deformation. PLANOS is a modular system that uses clamping claws or a quick-change pallet system to connect the matrix plates to the machine table. The matrix plates can be combined in a way that suits the workpiece geometry, the machining method, and the horizontal forces to be absorbed. The PLANOS support plate in combination with suction cups is the optimal solution for 5-side machining and for the machining of workpiece cut-outs. The support plate can be easily fastened to the base plate. To increase the horizontal holding forces, the PLANOS matrix plates can be equipped with optional friction islands. In comparison with matrix plates without friction islands, the horizontal holding forces are up to 30% higher on matrix plates with friction islands.
