Hovercraft Plates For Laser Shaping Machines
Hovercraft Plates for Laser Shaping Machines are used as the bases for processing heavy, symmetrical parts on laser machines. The top surface of the plates, which is made out of high-tensile aluminum, has a grid with threaded bores to enable location of clamping aids or fixtures to secure work pieces. The under surface consists of a micro porous, permeable aluminum material from Witte. When 2 bar pressure is applied, the hover plates rise approximately to 0.2 mm from machine table and are manually moved or rotated to the desired position during the manufacturing process. Polyurethane slide blocks not only ensure a defined Z support of the fixture, when in position, but also enable repeat positioning of any fixture used on the hover plate. Simultaneously, they also protect the micro porous air outlet surface during the manufacturing process. A shoulder around the outer contour allows for the accurate rotation of the plates on the laser machine table, which is equipped with a guide. The hover plates are equally suitable for certain manufacturing processes or for measuring machines with a flat smooth surface.
