Machine Bases: Machine Platforms & Floor Plates

Precision Grinding manufactures custom steel machine bases. Rather than affixing new machinery to sit upon a bare concrete floor, machine manufacturers may recommend mounting large manufacturing equipment onto a machine base or a floor plate. A steel platform serves as a precise foundation for the attached apparatus in addition to serving as structural support for the concrete foundation. Many times, these machine platforms have pre-drilled holes for mounting to a concrete floor. The bulk of the cut-outs and drilled holes serve to mount the machine onto the plate.

A heavy piece of machinery might be specified to be built upon a pre-fabricated steel support table. When a machined plate supports the above machinery, the equipment can be worked on from below, increasing clearances, while hydraulic fluid reservoirs, coolant hoses, and electrification can be routed from beneath.

Post- flame cutting and post- Blanchard grinding, this Machine Platform still needs holes, chamfers, and threads cut on the CNC Vertical Machining Mill.

Machine Beds

Our Blanchard Grinders can handle plates up to 14,000 lbs. with a maximum 128" corner-to-corner swing. Our close tolerance surface grinders can reach 30"h x 36 "x 172" at:

► ± 0.001" parallelism tolerances
► ± 0.002" per foot flatness requirements
► ± 0.001" thickness requirements
With some of the largest grinders in the country, we offer Machine Bed surface grinding services and routine maintenance services for select steel mills, machine shops, and steel fabricators.

CNC Machine travel capacity to 30"h x 78" x 122".

This Takumi CNC Vertical Milling Machine can also drill horizontally when we attach the 90° right angle head.

The CNC Vertical Machining Center pictured below is also capable of performing Horizontal Machining cuts, including end milling, face milling and hole drilling. The Takumi has a simultaneous tool capacity of 40 cutting tools. Our CNC machines can probe to better than 0.001" accuracy, measuring precision cuts to one- thousandth inch for boring, cutting, drilling, tapping, counter-sinking, reaming, and roughing tools, among others. Probing accuracy and inspection become important because it's difficult for any two experienced machinists to accurately measure ±0.001 the same every time.

This CNC Machine can hold up to 22,000 lbs. and can fit parts up to 30"x78"x122".

This base plate measures 2" x 65" x 114". Drilling sets of 4 holes..
