Plate features to define
Mark datum faces, locating holes, thread depth, countersinks, dowel pin fits, flatness requirements and any surfaces that mount sensors, clamps, nests or robot tooling.
Best-fit RFQs for this page
This page is built for buyers searching for custom aluminum fixture plates and needing a practical supplier review before production.
- Aluminum 6061 or 7075 fixture plates from customer drawings.
- Base plates with locating holes, dowel holes, tapped holes, slots and pockets.
- Prototype plates, one-off tooling parts and small repeat batches.
- Automation, inspection, assembly and workholding fixture applications.
Manufacturing and quotation review
XHR reviews the part function, drawing definition, material, finish, tolerance and inspection needs before confirming quotation details.
Material and finish choices
6061 aluminum is common for balanced cost and machinability. 7075 can be reviewed when stiffness and strength matter. Clear, black or hard anodizing can be planned when wear or appearance matters.
Inspection focus
Typical checks include hole position, thread quality, flatness, parallelism, pocket depth, slot width, burr control and cosmetic protection for visible or mating surfaces.
What to send for quotation
A complete RFQ helps reduce assumptions and shortens the back-and-forth before machining starts.
2D and 3D drawings
Send STEP/STP/IGES when available plus a 2D PDF drawing with material, tolerance, thread and finish notes.
Quantity and revision
Include prototype quantity, expected repeat quantity, drawing revision and the target delivery date if timing matters.
Critical features
Mark fitted surfaces, datum faces, moving interfaces, cosmetic areas and any dimensions that control assembly or inspection.
Inspection and packing
Tell XHR if inspection reports, material documents, special packing, NDA handling or shipment photos are required.
