In CNC-machining centres which guide the workpiece horizontally with clamps, there's alwas a storage area through which the workpiece is gliding and a pressure field from above. Thus the danger persists to damage the workpiece surface during the CNC-processing.

With the model HOMAG DRILLTEQ H-600 are machine table and pressure beam equipped with an air-cushion unit.

Between pressure table and workpiece bottom side as well as between pressure beam and workpiece top side a minimal, controlled air-cushion will be created. This avoids the direct friction of the workpiece surface on machine table and pressure beam and thus minimizes the risk of deamage substantially.
