comparable HOMAG part number 2056170930

Note: These pods fit the Schmalz standard vacuum system as well as HOMAG and IMA machines. Size and design match the original HOMAG and IMA pods. The difference from the original lies in how the rubber pads are attached. HOMAG rubber pads do not fit these pods and vice versa. The differences are explained in detail below.

The LEDs are visible, just like on the original pods.

Please compare the manufacturer's part number before ordering. Pods cannot be returned once they have been used.

• Hoseless vacuum clamping system for HOMAG WEEKE CNC machining centers with pod-and-rail table (dual-circuit system)
• Vacuum circuit one locks the block pods in place on the rail so they cannot shift, and vacuum circuit two clamps the workpiece and block pods securely and precisely onto the rails
• With the optional push valve, pods that are not needed can remain on the machine table
• Product identification by scanning the NFC tag with a smartphone, with an interface for automatic replacement part ordering in the online shop
• Damage-free clamping with maximum precision and holding force

• Upper suction plate (1) for holding the workpiece
• Rugged plastic base body (2)
• Lower suction plate (3) for holding the pod on the rail
• Guide strip (4) for easy positioning on the rail
• NFC tag (5) for scanning with a smartphone
• Optional push valve (6)

Comparison: Schmalz VCBL-K2-PRO vs. HOMAG narrow-part pod 125x75 H=100 LED

General Description

The Schmalz VCBL-K2-PRO is the modern version of a vacuum pod designed specifically for narrow parts and compatible with HOMAG and IMA machines. In size and function it is no different from the HOMAG narrow-part pod 125x75 H=100 LED (product ID: 2056170930, unit: each). The dimensions of both systems are identical, allowing seamless interchangeability and uniform use.

Main Differences Between Schmalz and HOMAG Pods

1. Rubber contact surface:

• HOMAG & Schmalz: The rubber contact surface is identical.

2. Stability of the friction pad seat:

• HOMAG: Standard friction pad seat.

• Schmalz: Much sturdier friction pad seat, which reduces damage from falling parts.

3. Base:

• HOMAG: Standard base.

• Schmalz: Sturdy base with reinforced structure.

4. Friction pad:

• HOMAG: The center hole of the friction pad may vary.

• Schmalz: Uniform center hole design.

• Important: The rubber pads are replaceable on both systems but not interchangeable with each other. This means a Schmalz rubber pad cannot be fitted to a HOMAG pod and vice versa.

5. Indicator and control elements:

• HOMAG: Integrated LED indicator via pointer prism.

• Schmalz: Has a pre-drilled hole for a pointer prism, which is not integrated as standard.

Conclusion

The Schmalz VCBL-K2-PRO is a more modern version of the HOMAG narrow-part pod 125x75 H=100 LED (product ID: 2056170930), with no differences in size or functionality. Thanks to its sturdier construction, the much sturdier friction pad seat and the high-quality metal filter, it offers greater resistance to damage and a longer service life.

Thanks to its identical dimensions, the Schmalz pod is fully compatible with the requirements for narrow parts, just like the HOMAG pod. Both systems are ideal for the job, with the modern Schmalz version offering additional improvements in stability and durability.
