10.01.12.00798 Lower Rubber Suction Plate 140*115*17mm On HOMAG CNC Drilling Machine

Need a sealing pad for a HOMAG CNC drilling machine vacuum block? This is the lower rubber suction plate with part number 10.01.12.00798, measuring 140 mm long, 115 mm wide and 17 mm high, moulded in grey rubber. It comes in two versions: VCB408 single channel and VCB409 dual channel, both with the identical 140 × 115 × 17 mm footprint, so you pick by the channel of the block on your machine, not by panel size. Matching upper rubber pads in the same size are supplied, and every order ships in a labelled carton.

A drilling centre that loses vacuum does not stop — it starts scrapping. A worn lower rubber suction plate lets the panel creep under the drill, the hole pattern drifts, and the batch is re-run. Three problems repeat: a pad that has hardened and no longer seals, a replacement ordered in the wrong channel version, and a wait on a part number.

The 10.01.12.00798 lower rubber suction plate is the sealing pad that sits under a HOMAG CNC drilling machine vacuum block. It measures 140 mm long, 115 mm wide and 17 mm high, moulded in grey rubber so the sealing face closes flat against the panel over the full contact area.

Two versions are supplied under separate SKUs: VCB408 single channel and VCB409 dual channel. Both keep the same 140 × 115 × 17 mm footprint, so the choice is made by the vacuum block on the machine, not by the panel being drilled. Matching upper rubber pads are made to the same size, so both sealing faces can be renewed on one block.

The pad is listed for the three-hole version of the block, is used on CNC machines and on HOMAG drilling machines specifically, and ships in carton boxes carrying the product description and item number.

What separates this pad from a generic rubber disc is the match between the footprint, the pad height and the channel count of the block it sits on.

• Footprint matched to the block — 140 mm sealing face by 115 mm, covering the vacuum chamber rather than only its centre.
• 17 mm pad height — the stacked height of the block it is fitted to, so the pod working height does not change when the pad is renewed.
• Two channel versions, one footprint — VCB408 single and VCB409 dual channel are both 140 × 115 × 17 mm; only the internal channel differs.
• Grey rubber body — moulded grey rubber, the colour that separates the lower suction plate from the upper cover on the same block.
• Lower pad, not the top cover — this item is the lower plate; the matching upper pad in the same 140 × 115 × 17 mm size is a separate item.
• Three-hole block version — listed for the three-hole version of the vacuum block used on the HOMAG machines this pad is specified for.
• HOMAG CNC drilling machine fit — listed for HOMAG CNC drilling machines and for general CNC machine application, referenced by 10.01.12.00798.
• One part number per carton — carton boxes labelled with the product description and item number, so VCB408 and VCB409 are never pulled from the same box.

The choice in front of a maintenance fitter is usually the same: keep running a hardened pad and inspect every panel, or stop the machine and wait for a part that arrives only after the exact channel version has been confirmed.

• Order the version you actually have.VCB408 and VCB409 are separate SKUs on the same 140 × 115 × 17 mm footprint, so the channel of the block decides the order, not a photo.
• Sealing face that matches the chamber.The pad covers 140 mm × 115 mm of block face, so vacuum is held across the full chamber instead of leaking around a smaller pad.
• Height stays where the machine was set.A 17 mm pad keeps the pod working height unchanged, so drilling depth is not re-trimmed every time a pad is renewed.
• Renew both halves in one pass.Lower plate and upper pad share the 140 × 115 × 17 mm size, so both sealing faces on a block are renewed together instead of pairing old with new.
• Shelf-proof packing.Each carton carries the product description and item number, so a spare on the rack is still identifiable as VCB408 or VCB409.
• A pad costs less than a scrapped batch.One panel scrapped by a drifting hole pattern outweighs the price of the pad, which is why it is treated as a consumable rather than a spare.

HOMAG CNC drilling machines. The pad is listed under part number 10.01.12.00798 for the vacuum blocks used on those machines, and it also carries a general CNC machine application. It is the lower rubber plate, so it fits under the block, against the panel.

The channel count. VCB408 is the single channel version and VCB409 is the dual channel version. The size is identical at 140 × 115 × 17 mm, so the two differ only in the internal channel and are not interchangeable on the same block.

Measure the block face first: the pad is 140 mm long, 115 mm wide and 17 mm high. If the block seals over that footprint and is the three-hole version, the pad is the matching lower plate. If the block face is a different size, this pad will overhang or leave a gap and vacuum will leak.

It is the lower pad. The matching upper rubber pad is made to the same 140 × 115 × 17 mm size and is supplied as a separate item, so on one block the lower plate and the top cover are ordered under two different items.

Rubber, in grey. The grey colour is the identifier used to separate the lower suction plate from the upper cover of the same block, and it makes a worn pad easy to spot against a clean one.

No. Both VCB408 and VCB409 keep the same 140 × 115 × 17 mm footprint, so the size can be checked on its own and the channel version decided afterwards from the block on the machine.

In carton boxes labelled with the product description and the item number. Each carton carries one part number, which is how VCB408 and VCB409 stay apart on a shelf once the original packing has been opened.

The part number 10.01.12.00798, the channel version (VCB408 or VCB409) and the quantity. With those three items the pad can be quoted without any further measurement, and the grey lower plate is identified the same way on every order.
