If it is necessary to replace the graphite chuck, only the base air valve needs to be closed, and the graphite chuck needs to be taken out for replacement. Since the vacuum chuck base does not increase the sealing ring that can strengthen the air tightness and increase the adsorption force during design, the surface is pure and flat, and there is no need to re-flatten and debug, so as to ensure the flatness and parallelism of the tooling, ensure that the product is fixed firmly on the tooling without shaking, and perform normal machining operation.
