    Cautions on the CAD data

    1. Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
      You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
    2. The CAD data unit assembly consists of sub-assemblies.
      Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
    3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

    4. The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
    5. The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • A simplified surface plate for objects with protrusions on the bottom that cannot be placed on coplanar surface plates.

Target workpiece

  • Molded plastic product
    Dims.: W280 x D40 x H25
    Weight: 0.18kg

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • External dims.: W300 x D100 x H52.2

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Aluminum extrusion frame
    • Two surface machined product selected for high accuracy.

Design Evaluation

Other Design Consideration

  • Workpiece dimensions of W280 x D40 with protrusions on the bottom prevent the use of a conventional surface plate.
  • Separate pieces are machined together to obtain the needed accuracy. This saves costs as well as overall weight.
  • While the surfaces need to be stainless, the supporting structure can be made of light weight aluminum.
  • To avoid applying loads on the screws during simultaneous machining, the stainless steel plates and aluminum plates are pinned and screwed together.
  • Accurate flatness is obtained by setting up and machining the two plates in one center.
  • The caps must be machined to not protrude from the extrusion cross section.
