Component Specifications

Definition
A work surface plate component featuring a precisely machined grid pattern of threaded or plain holes arranged in uniform rows and columns, designed to provide flexible, repeatable mounting points for fixtures, clamps, gauges, and tooling in machining, assembly, and inspection operations.
Working Principle
Utilizes a standardized grid layout to enable modular fixturing, allowing components to be quickly positioned and secured at precise locations without custom tooling, enhancing setup efficiency and repeatability.
Materials
Cast iron (Grade 250-300), granite, or steel, often surface-treated (e.g., black oxide, nickel plating) for corrosion resistance and durability.
Technical Parameters
  • Hardness 180-220 HB
  • Hole Type Threaded (e.g., M12, 1/2-13 UNC) or Plain
  • Hole Depth 20-40mm
  • Hole Pattern Grid (e.g., 100mm x 100mm)
  • Plate Thickness 50-200mm
  • Surface Flatness 0.01-0.05mm/m
Standards
ISO 8512-1, DIN 876
