BenchGrip is the most flexible option in the SYS-GRP vacuum workholding family. Instead of forcing your workflow to match a fixed vacuum table, BenchGrip adapts to you — positioning holding power exactly where you need it.

What is BenchGrip?

BenchGrip transforms standard aluminum extrusion into a modular vacuum clamping surface. Each pod connects via a standard vacuum hose, allowing you to configure custom zones, build temporary fixtures, or create setups that traditional clamps could never handle.

Key capabilities:

• Dual-orientation — works horizontally on your bench surface and vertically when mounted to the side of your bench, cabinet, or fixture
• Modular layout — combine pods, create zones, and reposition quickly for different projects
• Standard vacuum fittings — connect to virtually any pump or Grabo Pro-Lifter via Nexus Baseplate
• Precision sealing geometry — hybrid machined and additive construction ensures reliable sealing across wood, metal, and composite surfaces

BenchGrip Pod Lineup

BenchGrip comes in four sizes to match the scale of your work:

Minimus — Compact Specialist

Best for: Small parts, detail work, and tight spaces where a larger pod would overhang or interfere.

Configurations:

• Minimus Single — one vacuum inlet, one sealing surface; your go-to for most compact applications
• Minimus Dual — vacuum pass-through allows you to connect multiple pods in series without running separate hoses to each one; perfect for distributed arrays where routing matters
• Minimus Offset — offset geometry keeps the sealing surface flush even when the mounting point is raised; designed for vertical extrusion applications

Perfect for: Joinery setups, small cabinet components, or anywhere you need holding power without footprint. Because of its compact size, you can cluster multiple Minimus pods for distributed hold on irregular shapes or multi-point registration.
