Made from steel, the bases are strong and built to last—they’re also machinable and weldable, so you can modify the mounting plates to suit your application. All of these bases have cable routing holes, so you can feed cables, wires, and tubes through the center column to keep your cables organized and out of the way. Bases with holes for leveling use threaded fasteners (not included) to compensate for uneven floors.

45° base extensions tilt your robot arm forward so that it can reach lower than if it were mounted horizontally. These extensions help your robot arm reach inside machines or deep boxes, or downward onto a work surface. Mount them to a flat surface, or to the top of another base with a cable routing hole. They include fasteners to attach them to another base, but not to flat surfaces.

Attach part presentation plates to platforms to keep parts positioned for easy, repeatable access by workers, robots, and other machines. All include handles, mounting holes for hanging them onto a plate storage rack, and locator mounting holes for securing them to platforms that have locating pins. They can also be bolted to other surfaces if necessary. Made of stainless steel, the plates stand up to corrosion.

Plates with diamond-shaped holes are good for holding rectangular or cylindrical parts. Those with peg holes accept pegs (not included), which can be moved around to create custom layouts for parts with unique shapes. They come with rest pads that attach to the pegs for supporting heavy parts. Use blank plates for machining custom holes for your specific parts or when you want to weld components to the plate.

For short parts, you may need to add a blank plate for support, so the part can be accessed. For taller parts, you’ll need to use two part presentation plates spaced apart to act as a brace. Make sure the part’s center of gravity falls below the plate that is on top.

Use anchors to temporarily secure dollies to your floors. Each anchor has a notch that wraps around the stem of the dolly’s leveling foot to hold it in place. Tighten the foot’s wing nut for added holding power. When you need to move the dolly, slide the leveling foot out of the anchor’s notch. To secure one dolly, you’ll need three anchors—one for each leveling foot.
