SYS-GRP Hub turns the front of your bench into a tidy, predictable control point for vacuum workholding. No more improvised valves or wandering hose runs. You get a standardized path for routing, a quick‑release you can hit without breaking setup, and a layout that’s ready to grow as your workflow does.
Hub mounts cleanly under an aluminum rail or on the front face using Wings. Out of the box, the routing is simple to follow: a five‑port manifold and pre‑cut, labeled tubing make the path obvious and repeatable from one bench to the next. Whether you are fitting out a fresh station or upgrading a veteran work surface, the result is the same—clean lines, quick access, and an easy service path later.
Quick highlights
- Front‑of‑bench control that looks intentional, not improvised
- Standardized routing with a 5‑port manifold and pre‑cut, labeled tubing
- Scales from one to multiple routing positions without re‑plumbing
- Under‑rail (hidden) or front‑face mounting via Wings
- Fits the same extrusions supported by BenchGrip
Start here: Core vs Foundation
Choose the kit that matches how much control you want on day one.
| Kit | What’s inside | Best for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | Wings + Release Panel | Fast purge/reset without touching your setup | Quick changeovers, clean front‑of‑bench access |
| Foundation | Wings + Valve Panel Duo + Release Panel | Two routed zones on day one | Full front‑of‑bench control with room to expand |
Both kits include the five‑port manifold, pre‑cut tubing sized for typical runs, and your choice of hidden under‑rail or front‑face mounting.
Panels, explained
Use Hub to shape the workflow to your bench. Start simple or build out an array—the point is control where your hands already are at the front of the bench.
Pick a panel, any panel. Need to control two zones? Duo. Three? Trio. Expanding an already installed system with one more position? Solo. Hub is designed to grow with you—add what you need now, and leave room for what’s next.
- Solo is the clean add‑on when the path is simple. Bring one valve to the front without re‑plumbing the bench.
- Duo is the everyday workhorse for two zones. Left and right pod arrays. No drama.
- Trio is for benches with a frequent third act—Minimus on the front, Harpyie on the side, and AnchorPod on the top.
- Quad is headroom—ultimate control and workholding. Zoned to maximize efficiency—truly your workflow without limits.
The Release Panel is a place to put your big, friendly release button. Tap once to drop a part, clear a pod, or reset between operations—without reaching behind the rail.
Many benches start with Core (Release Panel + Wings) and add the panels that fit their needs; others begin with Foundation to bring two zones forward and keep quick‑release on day one. Don’t know where to start and just need to drop it like it’s hot? Pick Core and build from there.
What’s included: Solo ships with tubing only. Duo, Trio, Quad, and Release include the five‑port manifold and tubing so routing stays tidy and repeatable from one bench to the next.
Install in a minute
- Pick your mount — Hidden under‑rail for a clean face. Front‑face when visible access is the priority.
- Route cleanly — Five‑port manifold + labeled, pre‑cut tubing for tidy paths and easy service later.
- Check fit — Works with BenchGrip‑supported extrusions. Under‑rail with rail inserts requires a bottom channel. If your rail lacks it, use front‑face mounting or pair with the DashboardPWS Adapter.
Why Hub
This isn’t just hardware—it’s intent made visible. You get a front‑of‑bench control area that looks like it belongs there, routing you can repeat across benches and jobsites, and a clear path to expand without backtracking. Because it fits neatly with the BenchGrip‑supported rail family, Hub slides into existing setups without surprises.
FAQs
- Do panels include brackets or harness hardware? No. Wings carry rail inserts, brackets, and harness hardware. Panels include the routing kit per variant.
- Are valve bodies and release mechanisms included? No. Hub supplies the front‑of‑bench panels and routing kit. A knowledge base guide will list compatible options and selection steps.
- Does Solo include a manifold? Solo includes tubing. Duo, Trio, Quad, and Release include a five‑port manifold and tubing.
- Do I need a bottom channel for under‑rail mounting? Yes. Under‑rail mounting with rail inserts requires an extrusion with a bottom channel. If yours doesn’t have one, use the front‑face option or the DashboardPWS Adapter.
