ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for supporting and retaining a workpiece on a work-supporting deck for machining. The work-supporting deck includes vacuum aspirators each having a lifting ram formed with an axial suction bore and a suction cup carried on top of the lifting ram and communicating with the suction bore. An actuator is connected to each lifting ram and individually operable to move the associated lifting ram along a vertical axis. A clamping device releasably clamps onto each of the lifting rams. The actuator moves the clamped clamping device and lifting ram along a displacement path parallel to the vertical or any other axis.
