The Schmalz block vacuum cup VCBL-B 125x75x29mm with tactile valve is the wide-contact Biesse block vacuum cup in the low-profile 29 mm version — fully compatible with all Biesse CNC machines and also suitable for mixed operation with original Biesse vacuum cups.

With a contact area of 125 × 75 mm, this block vacuum cup offers significantly more contact area than the narrow 120×50 series — ideal for workpieces that require broader support but only a low overall height of 29 mm. The integrated tactile valve activates the vacuum automatically when the workpiece is placed, and prevents vacuum loss at unused positions.

Wide contact area. Low-profile design. Biesse-compatible with tactile valve.

Technical data

Suitable for all Biesse CNC machines

The VCBL-B is fully compatible with the Biesse console system — as a replacement for original Biesse vacuum cups or in mixed operation:

The Schmalz VCBL-B can be mounted in 15° steps in standard console mounts — more flexible than many original parts. Not sure whether this block vacuum cup suits your Biesse configuration? Our technicians will be happy to help.

When is the 125x75mm version the right choice?

• Greater contact area required: The 125 × 75 mm area offers significantly more contact with the workpiece than the narrow 120×50 series — ideal for wider or less rigid panels
• Flat workpieces and low overall height: At just 29 mm high, the vacuum cup keeps the distance between the console table and the underside of the workpiece to a minimum
• Direct replacement: A precision-fit alternative for the original Biesse vacuum cup in the same contact size and height — no adjustment of the console setup required
• Mixed operation: Easily used together with existing original Biesse vacuum cups on the same console table
• Addition to the 120x50 series: Where the narrow version does not provide enough area, the 125×75mm version delivers the necessary stability

What does the tactile valve do?

• Automatic activation: The vacuum is only activated when the workpiece touches the vacuum cup — no idle loss at unused positions
• Less vacuum loss: Unused vacuum cups do not affect the overall vacuum — the holding force at occupied positions remains consistently high
• Faster setup: No need to manually cover unused vacuum cups — the machine is ready immediately
• More flexible occupancy: Different workpiece sizes on the console table without any reduction in the overall performance of the vacuum system
