Instruction Manual

Operation 4-33
Set Up Tooling Plate Vacuum Area:
1. Position the workpiece(s) on the Tooling Plate at a convenient location for the
production run.
? NOTE Consider the following when determining the exact location of the
workpiece: home position, type and number of workpieces, and
fiducials.
2. Identify all screws that will be completely covered by the workpiece.
Vacuum holes should be completely covered by the workpiece and
holes not covered plugged by the screws. Ensure that the work
area is kept clean. Hissing noise may indicate a leak.
? NOTE Ideally, the workpiece part should lay flat and be held in place by a
evenly balanced vacuum suction.
3. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the identified screws. Bag and tag the
removed screws for future installation.
To avoid damage to the Tooling Plate, only use screws provided
with the system.
