Summary: Providing
a stable mounting surface.
Tooling plates
are precision-machined, flat plates used in manufacturing to provide a stable
and accurate mounting surface for fixtures, workpieces, and other tooling. They
are typically made of aluminum or steel and are designed with a grid of
threaded holes or T-slots that allow for flexible and repeatable setups.
Function: Tooling plates serve as a foundation for:
* Holding workpieces securely during
machining operations.
* Mounting fixtures and jigs to guide
cutting tools.
* Creating modular setups that can be
easily changed.
* Providing a precise reference surface for
measurements.
Advantages:
Accuracy: Their flatness and
precision-machined surfaces ensure accurate positioning.
Flexibility: The grid of holes or
T-slots allows for a wide variety of setups.
Repeatability: Setups can be easily
replicated, ensuring consistent part production.
Efficiency: They streamline the setup
process, reducing downtime.
Applications: Tooling plates are used in:
* Milling
* Drilling
* Assembly
* Inspection
