Snap these magnetic plates in and out of the mounting rail as swappable stages for measuring and inspecting parts. Unlike standard fixture plates that you need to bolt or clamp down, these quickly attach and release, creating a hub of plates that are locked and loaded. As your coordinate measuring machine (CMM) works in the background, position your next workpiece on another plate so it’s ready to switch out for the next run. If you need more room to inspect parts, combine plates in a chain to extend your surface. While they’re not sturdy enough for use in machining, you can use them for light fabrication work, such as laser engraving.

When docked on a rail, the strong magnets in these plates hold them still. The lightweight aluminum makes them easy to lift and swap, and an anodized coating protects them from scratches and wear, even if you’re working with heavy parts.

Fixture plates hold components such as towers, clamps, and standoffs in the evenly spaced holes to raise and position parts. Plates with four mounting edges can be rotated in 90° increments. Instead of having to reposition your workpieces, turn the plate to access other angles.

Corner plates make it easy for your CMM to find a workpiece since they act as a repeatable stop. The negative space gives you access underneath parts that are propped up.

Plates for calibration spheres take the work out of threading a sphere in and out of your table every time you calibrate your CMM. Move them off to the side when you’re not calibrating to prevent the probe of your CMM from crashing into the sphere. Keeping your sphere up and out of the way instead of stored in a drawer protects it from scrapes and bumps.
