Troubleshooting
Fault
Possible cause
Solution
Vacuum in
the FlexMat
breaks
down or the
FlexMat
detaches
from the
Steel-Plate
(this will
cause the
workpiece
to move or
break off).
Excessive amounts of
cooling lubricant and/or
dirt can clog the vacuum
ducts or holes in the
system, thus causing the
vacuum level to drop.
Cover unused suction
cells to prevent heavy
ingress of cooling
lubricant and dirt.
Due to the high pressure
of the cooling lubricant
stream or other
influences (e.g. collision
with attachment parts on
the unit), the FlexMat is
raised off the Steel-Plate
and the vacuum collapses
abruptly.
Cover the outer edges of
the FlexMat. Change the
direction or pressure of
the cooling lubricant
stream and avoid
collisions.
The FlexMat
melts during
processing
The workpiece and the
tool can heat up
significantly when
processing metal in
particular. This can cause
the elastomer FlexMat to
melt.
Cool the workpiece and
FlexMat accordingly.
Adapt the processing if
necessary.
The vacuum
level is too
low
Leakages that must be
compensated by the
vacuum generator can be
caused particularly by
uncovered suction cells or
dirt between the FlexMat
seal and the Steel-Plate.
Reduce leakage by
covering uncovered
suction cells and cleaning
the Steel-Plate, FlexMat
and workpiece.
If possible, use a more
powerful vacuum
generator or hoses with
larger cross sections.
Tip: When processing
with the FlexMat, a
vacuum generator with
double the suction
capacity should be used
than required for a similar
clamping area without
the FlexMat.
Cause lies with vacuum
generator, hoses or
Matrix-Plate.
See Assembly Instructions
for Matrix-Plate.
The
clamping
surface is
too small
Too few suction cells are
fully covered by the
workpiece.
Position the workpiece
such that as many suction
cells as possible are fully
covered.
