"In the past, because each skin panel has its own contour, a separate tool was required for setup and trimming [of each part]. Today, only one tool, the universal trim fixture [or POGO], is required. The biggest benefit is the drastic reduction in the number of [hard fixtures], which cost $12 million." This saved Boeing around $8 million over time, they reported.

At CNA, we're proud to have been featured in many Aviation Week articles over the years. Here's one of our favorite clips from more than 20 years ago:

"CNA's 'Pogo' flexible tooling system is finding increasing use in aerospace manufacturing as operational experience increases and the technology is adapted to perform new tasks....

"The flexible pogo fixturing system reduces tooling costs by as much as 95%, cuts set-up time by up to 80% and increases machine tool utilization significantly....

"In addition to decreasing traditional 'hard' tooling lead times, users can rapidly adapt to component changes by reprogramming the position of pogo actuators. The modular system allows multiple tool changes per shift without significantly slowing production."

With our newest Pogo system, your company will take production to new highs.

This Black Friday, as we're all out buying things, we thought it would be a fitting opportunity to tell you what's included when you buy a Pogo system!

First off, you get the POGO®-Pods or POGOs you ordered (no surprises there...), a table to hold them securely, an HMI (computer and wiring) to control the system, and plenty of spare parts. For a smooth experience, we've also thrown in training for your employees, delivery and setup at your location, and a 1-year warranty!

FAQ: what if one of the Pogos breaks? Does the whole machine go down until it's repaired?

First off, Pogos don't break often. In the rare case that they do, you just pull out the broken one, put in a replacement Pogo and your machine is up and running in just a few minutes! Send the broken Pogo to us and we'll fix it up for you, or do it yourself if it's an easy fix.

This is our machine at an Airbus manufacturing facility. It was paired with a waterjet for over 10 years and outlasted the machine it was under!

This machine replaced dozens of heavy metal fixtures and stayed consistent for the Airbus team for 10 years, helping with fast and easy changeovers!

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 lifechanging 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
