FAQs: Mounting Plates for Automation Applications

For standard mounting plates based on existing designs, the estimated timeframe is 8–12 business days, which includes the processes of milling, drilling, and surface treatment. However, complex custom plates that involve intricate hole patterns and features associated with weight reduction take about 3–4 weeks. As for prototype plates required for equipment fitment testing, they can be done within 5–7 days, subject to the required finish and the materials available.

We provide comprehensive finishing solutions tailored to aerospace requirements:
Anodizing (Type II and Type III)
Passivation for corrosion resistance
Precision polishing for aerodynamic surfaces
Custom protective coatings and thermal barriers

Yes, we provide rapid prototyping to verify fit and test assembly, with same-day CAD-to-part capability available for critical projects. For custom automation cells and research platforms, we perform low-volume production of 20 to 500 brackets. For standardized robot models, we perform high-volume production of thousands to tens of thousands of brackets annually, incorporating complete dimensional inspection, flatness verification, and material certifications.

We provide hole position accuracy for component alignment and bolt pattern matching of ±0.002 inches, surface flatness of 0.002 inches per foot for stable mounting, hole diameter tolerances of ±0.0005 inches for precision dowel pins and locating features, perpendicularity of 0.003 inches, square mounting surfaces, overall plate dimensions of ±0.010 inches, 0.003 inches parallelism between opposite stacked surfaces, and assemblies precise component positioning for multi-axis automation systems.

Precision face milling creates flat mounting surfaces with flatness tolerances within 0.002 inches per foot. CNC coordinate drilling produces hole patterns with position accuracy within ±0.002 inches ensuring proper component alignment. Countersinking prepares fastener seats for flush mounting. Tapping creates threaded holes for equipment attachment. Pocket milling machines recesses and weight reduction features. Surface grinding achieves ultra-flat surfaces within 0.0005 inches for precision applications. Deburring removes sharp edges ensuring safe handling and proper gasket seating.

In automation, mounting plates are components that serve as stable mounting surfaces for equipment assembly and precise positioning. Mounting plates are also used in conjunction with robots, machine tools, actuators, sensors, and hydraulic cylinders. More specialized examples would be gantry mounting plates for linear motion systems and modular breadboard plates with grid hole patterns for customizable, flexible layouts. Equipment interface plates are also mounting plates that adapt to different mounting standards, allowing for the seamless integration of various components in automation systems.

Aluminum 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 have outstanding strength-to-weight ratios, which helps in lowering moving mass, and improving machinability, which helps in developing intricate hole patterns and geometric shapes while offering adequate rigidity for many mounting applications with some level of natural corrosion resistance. MIC-6 cast aluminum with stress and flatness design features helps aluminum achieve exceptional flatness and high uniformity. Steel A36, 1018, and 4140 provide maximum rigidity to withstand and prevent deflection under load. This cast iron Class 30 and 40 for outstanding vibration damping and additional dimensional stability. Stainless steel 304 and 316 provide adequate strength and rigidity with corrosion resistance for harsh environments and cleanroom compatibility.
