Vacuum Suction Pods For Biesse CNC Routers 132x75x29mm Half 1/3 Full Size

Need a replacement pod for a Biesse Rover router and not sure which of the three footprints you have? This one is the half size pod: 132 x 75 mm across the top, 29 mm tall. The same series is moulded in full size (146 x 132 mm), half (132 x 75 mm) and 1/3 size (132 x 54 mm), each in 29 / 48 / 74 mm heights. The body is PF, a thermoset phenolic: brown for the old version, grey for the new one. Nine sizes, one 132 mm length.

A nesting table that loses hold gives no warning. The panel creeps, the cut follows the program instead of the part, and the board is written off before anyone hears the change. Biesse Rover tables meet the same three things: a pod that has to be identified by measuring it, a footprint that changes from station to station, and a spare that fits one height only.

This is the 132 x 75 x 29 mm vacuum suction block: 132 mm across the top face, 75 mm deep, 29 mm tall, the half (1/2) size in a series built on one 132 mm length. Full size measures 146 x 132 mm, 1/3 size measures 132 x 54 mm, and all three footprints are moulded in the same 29 / 48 / 74 mm heights, so a table running mixed stations is matched from one range.

The body is PF — a thermoset phenolic, not a soft elastomer. It holds a flat sealing face under clamping load instead of taking a set, which keeps vacuum across the whole top area. Brown is the old-version moulding; grey is the new version.

Fit comes down to three numbers plus the height, measured on the old pod. Customization is supported where a machine has been modified, and the locating ring, gasket, ball valve and seals are available with the pod.

What the three numbers and the moulding decide:

• 132 x 75 mm top face — the sealing area the board presses on, and the middle footprint of the range.
• 29 mm height — the low pod in the series; the same footprint is also moulded at 48 mm and 74 mm.
• Half size, not full — 132 x 75 mm against 146 x 132 mm full size and 132 x 54 mm at 1/3 size.
• PF phenolic body — thermoset, not a soft elastomer: keeps a flat face under load instead of taking a set like a soft pad.
• Nine sizes on one length — full, half and 1/3 footprints, each moulded in 29 / 48 / 74 mm heights, all 132 mm long.
• Vacuum hold, no clamps — the board is held by vacuum alone, so a cycle runs without clamp moves or fixture swaps.
• Swapped as one unit — one pod per grid position; a cracked or flattened face is lifted off without opening the vacuum circuit.
• Accessories on the same order — locating ring, gasket, ball valve and seals are available with the pod, so the seat is renewed in one go.
• Customization supported — where a machine has been modified, the size fields can follow the drawing.
• Spares for Biesse Rover routers — listed against the Rover CNC router family these pods are taken off.

What a pod that matches the seat adds to a table that has been losing grip:

• The panel stays where the program put it. A 29 mm pod standing square carries the board at one height for the whole cycle, so the tool follows the part instead of the creep.
• Scrap is caught with a caliper. Three numbers off the old pod — 132 x 75 x 29 mm — settle the fit in a minute; a slipped panel costs the whole board.
• A mixed table is matched from one range. Full, half and 1/3 footprints in 29 / 48 / 74 mm means three stations come from one supplier instead of three.
• Thermoset, not rubber. A PF face that stays flat holds vacuum across the full 132 x 75 mm area, so the pump works less for the same hold.
• No fixture change at the table. The pod seats where the old one sat, so the grid layout and the machining program stay exactly as they were.
• Repair rather than rebuild. One pod per position, swapped as a unit: the vacuum circuit, the seat and the grid are untouched by the replacement.
• Colour matched to the machine. Brown and grey share the same 132 x 75 mm footprint, so an older table and a newer one can run off the same spare.

Half size. 132 x 75 mm is the half (1/2) footprint; full size is 146 x 132 mm and 1/3 size is 132 x 54 mm, and this is the 29 mm height in the half series.

Take the height off the pod you are replacing — the footprint does not change with it. The half size is moulded at 29 mm, 48 mm and 74 mm, and the height sets how high the board rides above the table, so it has to match the seat.

It fits if the old pod measures 132 x 75 mm across the top and stands 29 mm tall. These are listed as spares for Biesse Rover CNC routers; measure the one coming off and compare the three numbers before ordering.

PF — a thermoset phenolic plastic. It holds its shape under clamping load instead of taking a set like a soft rubber pad, so the sealing face stays flat across the whole top area.

Either, as long as the size matches. Brown is the old-version moulding and grey is the new version, and both are listed in the same 132 x 75 mm footprint and the same 29 / 48 / 74 mm heights.

The locating ring, gasket, ball valve and seals. All four are available as accessories with the pod, so the whole seat is renewed in one order instead of one part at a time.

Yes. Customization is supported, and the stock range already covers three footprints — full 146 x 132 mm, half 132 x 75 mm, 1/3 132 x 54 mm — in 29 / 48 / 74 mm heights.

Quoted per order. The price depends on footprint, height and quantity, so send the three numbers off the pod you are replacing plus the quantity, and it comes back as a written quotation.
