Machine Bases

 

 

Custom precision castings designed for the Machine Industry provide a solid foundation offering exacting surface tolerances, significant vibration dampening, great thermal stability, and superior corrosion resistance. Machine bases cast in our Zanite polymer concrete offer quieter operation and no deterioration from common fluids.

Typical applications include high speed machining cells, turning centers, CNC knee mills, milling machines, waterjet cutting machines, laser cutting machines and grinders, screen printing machines, wafer profilers, x-ray and MRI machines.

 

Machine Base Features:
