Here's what the Amazing

Offers for your business:

  • Precise and repeatable positioning to within .003″ tolerance.
  • Program set up in less than 3-5 minutes for typical parts.
  • Tested to 100,000 moves (20 years of heavy use).
  • Real time monitoring of position and vacuum while parts are machined.
  • Free floating heads allow the end effector to conform to the part surface.
  • Quick change end effectors can be replaced with an assortment of styles.
  • 50lbs of pull-down force per end effector
  • Plug and play functionality when replacing a pod of actuators.  
  • Easy to use PC-based, graphical user interface, that provides in-depth control, feedback and diagnostic options.

The POGO-Pod® allows you to manufacture like never before

Combining the best in flexible tooling technology with it’s small size, the POGO-Pod® will allow small manufacturers access to a life-changing technology that has so far been reserved for the biggest manufacturers in the world. And all that at a price that won’t make you think twice. The POGO-Pod® is designed to hold composite and metal parts firmly in place. The system can be used to compliment integrated CNC drilling, any type of work done by hand, laser scribing or cutting, trimming, inspection, and assembly. Best of all, the POGO-Pod® repositions in 1 minute at the click of a button, so that you can work on different parts quickly and with zero hassle. With incredible stability and lighting-fast changeover times for parts, our POGO-Pod® will let you work like never before.

The POGO-Pod® allows you to manufacture like never before

The POGO-Pod® is a fully assembled and operating unit. Our design makes the pod easy to operate so that you’re never left wondering. Once installed, the pod is capable of working hard for decades (we haven’t had a single machine break down in 25 years…). We’ve kept the price low to give small manufacturers and shop owners the chance to reap the benefits of this revolutionary tech.

The POGO-Pod® is designed to work in dry environments, and handle constant metal and composites dust from drilling. The POGO-Pod® comes with an integrated computer setup. The pod’s actuators move individually, and can be programmed to fit any piece and hold it firmly with strong vacuum suction. Once a piece is in the computer’s memory, you can simply press a button and the POGO-Pods® will move to that exact position. If you stop making that specific piece, the pods can adapt to any other piece and continue to save you time and money. The magic of the POGO-Pod® is in helping manufacturers and shop owners speed up their process and make parts more accurately than ever.
