Tool Mounting Plate/Bracket: Weight Capacity 5-50 kg

Component Specifications

Definition

A structural component designed to mount and secure cutting tools onto a machine tool carriage, typically featuring precision-machined surfaces, mounting holes, and alignment features to ensure accurate tool positioning, stability during operation, and effective vibration damping for optimal machining performance.

Working Principle

Provides a rigid, stable interface between the cutting tool and machine carriage, using mechanical fastening (bolts, clamps) and precision alignment features (dowel pins, reference surfaces) to maintain tool position, absorb cutting forces, and minimize vibration transfer to the machine structure.

Materials

High-strength steel (e.g., AISI 4140, 4340), aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6, 7075-T6), or cast iron, often with surface treatments like nitriding, hard anodizing, or chrome plating for wear resistance.
