Base Plate / Mounting Plate: Thickness 8-12 mm

Component Specifications

Definition

A rigid structural component designed to provide a stable, flat reference surface for mounting vial positioning mechanisms, ensuring precise alignment and repeatable positioning of sample containers in automated analysis systems. It serves as the foundational interface between the positioning nest assembly and the machine frame.

Working Principle

Provides dimensional stability and mounting points for positioning elements, maintaining geometric accuracy through rigid construction and precise machining to minimize deflection under operational loads.

Materials

Stainless steel 316L or aluminum 6061-T6 with anodized or passivated surface treatment for corrosion resistance and cleanroom compatibility.
