6: Fitting and Using the Vacuum Table
To operate the vacuum table:
1) Place the vacuum table on the Microrouter floor, with the multiple
air valves and cells facing upwards, so the hole in the centre of
the Microrouter floor is completely covered.
Run the integrated
vacuum pump only
when using the vacuum
table. Denford
recommends a
maximum continuous
running time of 30
minutes, unless
demanded otherwise
due to the length of the
CNC program in use,
with a 10 minute break
to ensure the optimum
life for the vacuum
pump motor.

2) The vacuum pump switch is fitted to the front control panel,
located on the right side of the Microrouter cabinet. Switch on
the vacuum pump by lifting the cover and pressing the square,
green, button once.
The switch becomes operational when a successful
communication link is established between the Microrouter and
the CNC machine controller PC. A vacuum seal will be created
between the lower surface of the vacuum table and the
Microrouter floor, holding the vacuum table in position.
