3 Kinds of Commonly Used CNC Vacuum Suction Cups

A CNC suction cup is a vital part of CNC pod and rail machining center and CNC router machine. It is mounted on the console to clamp the workpiece by vacuum and be moved to adjust their positions depending on the workpiece. The suction pods are suitable for processing small and high precision parts and can be machined on the side. They are widely used for solid wood processing.

There are three common CNC vacuum pods for CNC work center in the woodworking machinery market.  
1, Biesse ATS CNC vacuum pods

Biesse ATS CNC vacuum pods

ATS is Abbreviation for 'Advanced Table Setting'. These CNC pods are manually positioned. There is a white nylon support locating ring on the bottom of this kind of pod. The base bodies of the vacuum cups are inserted into a holding fixture on a pod and rail table. The base body and holding fixture have a grating that is divided into 15° steps. Thus, it is possible to position the vacuum cup in different angles on the pod and rail table. These CNC vacuum pods are easy to find in Biesse rover series CNC machine. There are three different heights: 29mm, 48mm and 74mm vacuum pods for Biesse.

Biesse rover vacuum pods
Here is the size for Biesse pods:
29mm height CNC vacuum pods:
Full-size pod: 132*146*29mm
Half-size pod (1/2 Size): 132*75*29mm
1/3 Size pod: 132*54*29mm
48mm height vacuum cups:
Full pod: 132*146*48mm
Half pod (1/2 Size): 132*75*48mm
1/3 Size pod: 132*54*48mm
74mm Biesse CNC vacuum pods:
Full pod: 132*146*74mm
Half pod (1/2 Size): 132*75*74mm

1/3 Size pod: 132*54*74mm
