VCBL-K2 125x75x50 L Vacuum Suction Cup Longitudinal Vacuum Block for Homag CNC Router

VCBL-K2 125x75x50 L Vacuum Suction Cup Replacement for Homag CNC Router

The VCBL-K2 125x75x50 L vacuum suction cup is a consumable vacuum block built for Homag CNC machining centres. The L (longitudinal) orientation positions the sealing lip along the machine axis, which suits lengthwise holding of long panels and narrow strips during routing, drilling and edge processing. It is a direct replacement for the Schmalz VCBL-K2 125x75x50 series, L version.

Why the L (Longitudinal) Version Matters

• Lengthwise vacuum alignment – the long side of the 125×75 mm sealing frame runs with the feed direction, so long workpieces keep suction across the full panel length instead of loading only two small pads.
• Lower panel vibration – full-length support reduces chatter at the cutter, which protects the edge quality of thin and high-gloss boards.
• Same console, no modification – the 50 mm height matches the standard VCBL-K2 console, so the L pods interchange with Q pods in minutes.

Construction

• Wear-resistant engineering rubber sealing lip, resistant to abrasion, cold cracking and repeated compression.
• Rigid support core keeps the 125×75 mm frame flat under vacuum, so the lip seals instead of collapsing.
• Replaceable lip design: the rubber gasket can be renewed on its own, which cuts consumable cost per running hour.
• Stable suction response with minimal air leakage, keeping holding force constant over long machining cycles.

Specifications

Typical Materials Held

Melamine faced board, MDF, HDF, plywood, solid wood, HPL and composite panels — including thin panels where a long sealing frame is needed to stop the sheet lifting at the tool.

Installation and Maintenance

Push the pod onto the console, check that the lip sits flat on the panel with no gap at the corners, then verify holding force before the first cut. Inspect the lip weekly for nicks and hardening; replace the gasket when vacuum loss or panel slip appears. Keeping a spare set of L pods on the shelf avoids downtime when a lip is damaged mid-shift.

Ordering

Tell us the pod size, the direction letter (L or Q) and how many consoles you run, and we will quote the matching set together with replacement lips. OEM and custom lip hardness are available for volume orders.
