The Multi-Hole Mounting Plate provides a rigid, high-precision modular interface for securing actuators, linear guides, sensors, and structural assemblies. Built from engineering-grade metals via high-speed CNC milling, these plates feature pre-defined hole grids designed to eliminate on-site drilling, ensure absolute assembly alignment, and reduce mechanical integration time in industrial automation.

Key Features

Grid Pattern Accuracy: Precision-bored hole patterns with tight pitch tolerances (+/-0.02 mm) to ensure seamless mating with standard linear rails, structural extrusions, and pneumatic components.

Critical Machining Zones: Spot-faced mounting faces guarantee flat, flush contact surfaces; countersunk holes maintain proper fastener seating under heavy dynamic loads.

Structural Optimization: Engineered pocket milling removes non-essential weight while preserving structural rigidity and high load-bearing capacity.

Burr-Free Edge Control: 100% manual and mechanical deburring ensures zero burrs on thread entries, countersinks, and perimeter edges.

Materials & Machining Processes

Production relies on mill-test-certified raw materials processed on high-speed 3-axis and 4-axis CNC machining centers.

Material Options

Aluminum: 6061-T6, 7075-T6 (High strength-to-weight ratio for automated machinery).
Stainless Steel: SUS 304, SUS 316 (Corrosion-resistant for food processing and marine environments).
Carbon & Alloy Steel: Q235, 1045, 42CrMo (Rigidity for heavy-duty press and tooling fixtures).

Machining Workflow

CNC Milling: Simultaneous contour profiling and pocketing to maintain strict flatness (+/-0.05 mm/100 mm).
Rigid Tapping: Coolant-through spindle operations ensuring thread depth accuracy and clean perpendicularity.
Surface Prep: Vibratory deburring and precision surface grinding prior to finishing processes.

Customization & OEM Services

Build-to-Print Execution: Production strictly adheres to customer CAD models (STEP, IGES, DXF) and engineering drawings (PDF).

Rapid Prototyping: Small-batch functional prototypes completed within 3 to 7 working days prior to volume scaling.

Secondary Operations: Laser-etched part numbers, serial tracking, pin-stamping, and press-fit hardware insertion (dowels, threaded inserts).

Quality Control & Inspection

Operations are governed by ISO 9001 certified protocols, with verification checkpoints across the production lifecycle:

Incoming Material Check: Positive Material Identification (PMI) and dimensional thickness verification prior to sawing.

In-Process Inspection: First-article inspection (FAI) reports generated via CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) for hole pitch and position.

Thread Verification: 100% Go/No-Go thread gauge testing for all tapped holes.

Traceability Deliverables: Dimensional inspection reports, Material Test Reports (MTR), and Certificates of Conformance (CoC) provided with shipments.

Packaging & Shipping

Corrosion Protection

Aluminum plates interleaved with non-abrasive PE foam; steel plates treated with anti-rust oil and sealed in VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) bags.

Impact Defense

Edge protectors and high-density foam padding housed inside export-grade reinforced plywood crates or heavy-duty cartons.

Logistics Support

Direct sea freight, air cargo, and express courier routing with complete customs documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom mounting plates?

A: No strict MOQ is enforced. Prototype orders of 1 to 5 pieces are fully supported, with volume tier pricing applied for production batches.

Q: What CAD and drawing formats are required for quotation?

A: 3D files in STEP, IGES, or SolidWorks format, accompanied by a 2D PDF drawing detailing critical tolerances, thread specs, and surface finish requirements.

Q: What standard tolerances are maintained if no specific callout is provided?

A: Standard linear dimensions are held to +/-0.1 mm, and CNC milled hole pitch distances are maintained within +/-0.05 mm. Tighter specifications require explicit drawing notes.

Q: Can you provide material certificates (MTRs) for raw stock?

A: Yes. Mill Test Reports originating from primary metal mills are included with every shipment to ensure full alloy traceability.

Q: How long is the typical production lead time?

A: Prototypes typically ship in 5 to 7 days. Production batches of 100 to 1,000 units generally require 15 to 25 days depending on material availability and finishing complexity.

Q: How do you protect threaded holes during surface treatments like anodizing?

A: Tapped holes are mechanically plugged or re-tapped post-anodizing to ensure thread pitch diameters remain uncompromised and mating fasteners thread smoothly.
