ISO 9001 certified large-format plate machining on gantry CNC centres: aluminium baseplates, fixture plates, robot mounting plates, cooling plates, vacuum chuck plates, machine bed and long structural plates in 6061, 6063, 5052 and 7075. We machine large faces genuinely flat with accurate hole grids, T-slots, pockets and cooling channels, then anodise, hard-anodise or chromate-finish.

Big plates reveal every weakness: machine deflection, work-holding stress, heat and material movement. Our gantry centres, stress-relieved material and staged roughing/finishing strategy keep large baseplates and fixture plates flat and dimensionally stable, with hole patterns and bores that line up at assembly.
Gantry CNC centres handle large-format and long plates that exceed ordinary vertical-machine capacity, with stable, rigid machining across the whole face.
Stress-relieved stock, symmetric roughing, finishing passes and inspection keep large faces flat and parallel, so plates mate to frames and carriages without rocking.
Precision hole grids, dowel holes, tapped holes, counterbores and reamed bores positioned accurately across the plate for bolts, pins and linear guides.
T-slots, dovetails, pockets, weight-saving cavities, engraved grids and cooling/vacuum channels machined into the plate as designed.
Liquid-cooling plates with internal channels and vacuum chuck plates for thermal management, semiconductor and work-holding applications.
Clear, black, red or blue anodising, hard anodising and chromate conversion protect the surface, with masking of precision bores and contact faces.
We use stress-relieved, flat aluminium plate and can also machine steel, stainless and tooling plate. Material selection is part of our free DFM review.
The standard structural plate alloy — good strength, machinability, flatness and anodising response for baseplates, fixtures and machine beds.
Often used for frames and extruded structural sections; plates and sections machined with accurate mounting and joining features.
Good corrosion resistance and formability for panels and guard plates, with smooth anodised and coated surfaces.
High-strength plate for high-load fixture and aerospace structural plates where weight and stiffness are critical.
Cast aluminium (MIC-6/ACP-style) tool-and-jig plate offers excellent inherent flatness and dimensional stability for precision fixtures.
Steel structural and machine plates for higher-load baseplates and weldments that require superior stiffness and strength.
Corrosion-resistant base and fixture plates for food, medical, chemical and washdown environments.
Machine beds and reference plates in cast iron or with granite interfaces quoted on request for ultra-stable metrology applications.
Every component is made-to-print / OEM. A selection of representative large-format machined plates from our gantry capabilities.

Large plates are finished to protect the surface while preserving the precision of mating faces and bores.
Natural/silver anodising that protects aluminium plates and adds corrosion resistance without changing the cosmetic appearance.
Coloured Type II anodising (black, red, blue and other colours) for branded or functional identification, with even coverage on large faces.
Thick, hard-anodised wear surfaces for fixture plates, tooling and vacuum plates subject to repeated clamping and abrasion.
Chem-film/chromate conversion for electrical conductivity and corrosion protection, common for grounding and electronic baseplates.
Satin bead-blasted or linear-brushed surfaces before anodising for a uniform, premium cosmetic finish.
Selective masking of precision bores, dowel holes and contact faces; plates can also be supplied as-machined with defined Ra and cleaned surfaces.
