Block Piston Vacuum Sucker 132x146x48 For Biesse CNC Machining Center 6308A0157

Need to replace a 132 x 146 x 48 mm vacuum pod on a Biesse machining centre without ordering through the machine builder? This block piston vacuum sucker is supplied to the full size envelope of 132 x 146 x 48 mm - 146 mm long, 132 mm wide, 48 mm high - and carries Biesse reference 6308A0157. The body is PF (phenol formaldehyde plastic), a thermoset, not a soft rubber cup. Brown is standard and grey is also available. Match the reference and the three dimensions before you order.

A nesting table that loses vacuum mid-cycle causes three problems at once: the panel shifts and the part is scrapped, the operator stops the machine to find which pod is leaking, and the replacement arrives late because the pod was ordered from the machine builder. On a worn pod the failure is usually at the sealing face, where panel edges have been sliding across the block for months.

This block piston vacuum sucker is the 132 x 146 x 48 mm full size pod. The body is PF (phenol formaldehyde plastic), a thermoset that holds a stable sealing face instead of creeping like a soft rubber cup under clamp pressure, and the piston and the block are one part, so suction is spread over the whole 132 x 146 mm footprint rather than one small point.

Length is 146 mm, width 132 mm and height 48 mm, matching Biesse reference 6308A0157.

Brown is the standard colour and grey is also available, which lets a mixed table keep one colour per vacuum circuit. Replenishment spares come from the same range: ball valve 1704A0014, the 132 x 75 mm replacement rubber FNAW550129 and vacuum block support ring 1405A0013. Price is by quote.

What separates this pod from a plain rubber cup is the block body and the reference match, not a feature list.

• Full size block body - 132 x 146 x 48 mm, with 146 mm length, 132 mm width and 48 mm height, so the pod fills a full size seat in the table.
• PF thermoset material - phenol formaldehyde plastic keeps a stable sealing face under clamp pressure, where a soft cup deforms and takes a set.
• Piston inside the block - the vacuum column runs through the block body itself, so suction reaches the panel face across the whole 132 x 146 mm area.
• Biesse reference 6308A0157 - the pod is identified by the reference printed in your machine documentation, so the order is a number match, not a caliper job.
• Built for Biesse machining centre tables - supplied as a vacuum suction cup for Biesse CNC machining centre vacuum circuits.
• Brown or grey - brown is standard and grey is also available, so a table can colour-code its vacuum circuits.
• Passive part, fast swap - nothing to wire, calibrate or program: the worn pod lifts out of its seat and the new block drops in.
• Matching spares on the same order - ball valve 1704A0014, 132 x 75 mm rubber FNAW550129 and support ring 1405A0013 can go on the same line.

A worn pod leaves a buyer between two bad options: keep running the table and scrap panels, or stop production and wait on the machine builder's parts channel. This block is meant to close that gap.

• Order by reference, not by guesswork. Biesse ref. 6308A0157 is the number to quote, and the 146 mm, 132 mm and 48 mm checks confirm it before the part leaves the shelf.
• A leaking pod costs panels, not just a part. Once vacuum drops at one seat the panel lifts and the tool cuts into scrap; swapping the block restores the hold at that seat.
• PF holds the face that rubber loses. A thermoset block keeps its flat sealing face, so the pod is not re-faced after a few months of panel edges running over it.
• One part number for the whole table. Because 132 x 146 x 48 mm is the full size seat, a spare set for every pod on the grid is held under one number.
• Colour works as a table map. Brown and grey let an operator see which vacuum circuit a pod belongs to while a fault is traced.
• Spares from the same range. Valve 1704A0014, rubber FNAW550129 and support ring 1405A0013 come from the same range, so a full pod refresh is one order.

Only if your table takes the 132 x 146 x 48 mm full size pod. Check the three dimensions on the worn block - 146 mm long, 132 mm wide, 48 mm high - and the reference 6308A0157 in your machine documentation; if both match, the seat is the right one.

Compare the reference in your machine parts list with 6308A0157, then confirm the size. A pod that measures 132 x 146 x 48 mm and quotes the same reference is the part; a measurement that differs in any of the three figures means a different pod.

PF is phenol formaldehyde plastic, a thermoset that keeps its shape once cured. That matters on a pod because the sealing face is pressed against panel edges all day: a thermoset block resists taking a permanent set the way a soft rubber cup does.

No difference in size or material. Both colours are supplied in PF to the same 132 x 146 x 48 mm envelope with the same 6308A0157 reference; colour is a visual choice, and it can be used to mark circuits on a table.

One pod per vacuum seat, so count the seats in your grid. The pod is a single block for a single seat, so one part number covers every seat in the grid.

It is the whole block piston pod, not a rubber cover. The 132 x 75 mm replacement rubber FNAW550129 listed with it is a separate item in a different size, so the two are not interchangeable.

Only if they are worn. The block, ball valve 1704A0014, support ring 1405A0013 and 132 x 75 mm rubber FNAW550129 are listed separately, so you can order the blocks alone and add the small parts when they fail.

Ask for a quote with the quantity you need. Price is quoted per order rather than shown as a list figure, and the reference 6308A0157 plus the quantity is enough to quote against.
