Custom Base plates

Custom base plates are manufactured by specialized fabrication companies to precise client specifications, providing critical structural integrity and foundational support for heavy machinery, columns, and various equipment. These plates are often engineered with specific dimensions, flatness tolerances, and hole patterns that standard, off-the-shelf products cannot meet.

Materials and Manufacturing Processes

Custom base plates are produced using various materials and processes to achieve optimal performance and durability.
Materials:

Carbon Steel: Widely used for its excellent strength and versatility, often certified to standards like ASTM A-36 or A-572-50.

Stainless Steel: Chosen for applications requiring corrosion resistance, such as in marine or chemical processing environments.

Aluminum: Selected for lightweight applications, common in trade show displays and specific electronic devices.

Aluminum Bronze: Used in specialized applications, such as in gib assemblies, for its durability.

Processes:

Cutting: Methods include CNC plasma cutting, fiber-optic laser cutting, and flame cutting.

Precision Machining: CNC machining, milling, and grinding ensure flatness, parallelism, and exact hole patterns.

Welding: Certified welders use techniques like TIG and MIG to create strong, integrated assemblies.

Forming: Bending and rolling processes can achieve specific profiles and shapes.

Finishing: Various finishes are available to enhance longevity, including galvanization, powder coating, and rust-inhibitive painting.
