With Padsmore's new suction block, if the light indicator turns from green to red, the operator knows he has to make adjustments to correct vacuum flow,

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario - Padsmore Inc. of Pickering, Ontario, is returning to the Woodworking Machinery & Supply Conference & Expo and will demonstrate its block system equipped with a vacuum-indicating sensor. WNS 2019 will take place Oct. 31-Nov. 2 at the International Centre.

The block system displays a green light when a sufficient volume of vacuum is being applied to hold-down a work piece and a red light when more vacuum suction is required. This visual cue allows the operator or maintenance person to quickly assess the presence or absence of suction and make adjustments as needed to safely and properly run the machine. Padsmore's block system was a finalist in the IWF 2018 Challengers Awards competition. 

Padsmore specializes in suction pads for CNC machining center, edgebander and panel saws. The company says many of its best products and ideas have come from customer requests.
