VacEasy systems provide a convenient and flexible vacuum clamping solution for workshops and CNC operators looking for straightforward integration into existing machines and setups.
This video is useful for customers comparing more accessible vacuum clamping solutions against larger or more specialised vacuum table systems.
Explore VacEasy SolutionsVacuum Pads
Vacuum pads are useful where targeted vacuum clamping is preferred over a full vacuum table. They can offer a flexible workholding solution for irregular parts, custom fixtures and machining setups where only selected areas need to be clamped.
HPC Vacuum Pads
HPC vacuum pads provide targeted clamping solutions for irregular workpieces or for applications where only specific areas of a part need to be held securely.
They are commonly used with CNC machining centres and custom fixtures where flexible positioning and modular workholding are important.

T-Slot plates are a traditional and highly versatile mechanical workholding solution. They are ideal for use with clamps, stops and fixtures where vacuum clamping may not be suitable or where heavier parts require conventional holding methods.
T-Slot Plate Demo
T-Slot plates provide a dependable mechanical workholding platform for machining metals, heavier workpieces and parts requiring robust clamping arrangements.
This demo highlights their flexibility for use with conventional clamps, custom fixtures and repeat production setups.

Vacuum pumps are a key part of any vacuum clamping system. Choosing the right pump depends on the table design, leakage, part coverage and the level of holding force required for the machining operation.
Liquid Ring Pump (LSVU 25 and LSVU 50 ST)
Liquid ring vacuum pumps such as the LSVU 25 and LSVU 50 ST provide reliable vacuum generation for industrial vacuum clamping systems and demanding CNC applications.
This video is useful for customers looking to better understand the vacuum source behind their table or comparing pump options for different levels of airflow and holding performance.
View Vacuum PumpsOther Vacuum & Clamping Systems
In addition to vacuum tables, pads and pumps, we also offer other workholding and vacuum-based systems for specialist applications including vacuum pressing and pneumatic clamping.
Vacuum Press
Vacuum press systems are widely used for laminating, veneering and composite forming where even pressure distribution across the workpiece is essential.
They are a proven solution for woodworking, furniture manufacturing and composite applications requiring consistent pressing performance.
Browse Vacuum Press SystemsPneumatic Clamps
Pneumatic clamping systems provide fast, repeatable mechanical workholding for production environments where cycle time, consistency and ease of use are important.
They can be a strong alternative where vacuum clamping is not appropriate or where additional mechanical holding force is required.
View Pneumatic Clamping SystemsNeed help choosing the right workholding solution?
CNC vacuum tables provide fast, repeatable and low-profile workholding for a wide range of materials including aluminium, plastics, composites, wood and thin sheet materials. Compared with conventional clamps, vacuum clamping can reduce setup time, improve access to the toolpath and make it easier to machine multiple parts efficiently.
Hole grid vacuum tables offer flexibility in part positioning, while raster grid vacuum tables create a defined sealing path and can often work effectively with lower vacuum requirements. Vacuum pads provide a more targeted solution, while T-Slot plates and pneumatic clamps remain important where traditional mechanical workholding is the better choice.
