Machine Bases & Frames

Ultra-rigid structural frames for precision equipment and heavy machinery.

Key Capabilities

Superior Vibration Control

Mechanically locked joints eliminate the vibration transmission that plagues friction-based systems, protecting precision processes and extending equipment life.

Heavy-Duty Load Capacity

AngleLock connections rival welded steel strength, supporting machinery loads from hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds with minimal deflection.

Precision Leveling & Alignment

Integrated leveling systems and precision-machined mounting surfaces ensure micron-level accuracy for sensitive equipment installation.

Modular Reconfigurability

Disassemble and reconfigure without weakening the structure. Add equipment, change layouts, or relocate entire systems as needs evolve.

Project Example

Precision Grinding Machine Base

The Challenge

Optical component manufacturer needed vibration-isolated base for precision grinder producing sub-micron surface finishes, with ability to relocate machine quarterly as production mix changed.

Our Solution

Custom AngleLock base with integrated pneumatic isolation, precision leveling feet, heavy-duty casters, and reinforced construction supporting 12,000 lb machine.

Results
Surface finish improved 25% due to superior vibration isolation
Machine relocated 6 times in 18 months in under 4 hours each
Load capacity verified at 15,000 lbs with < 0.010" deflection
Zero maintenance required on base structure for 3+ years

Common Applications

Typical uses for machine bases & frames across various industries:

CNC machine tools and milling centers

Coordinate measuring machines (CMM)

Precision grinding and lapping equipment

Injection molding presses

Assembly and test equipment

Vibration-sensitive metrology instruments

Why AngleLock Technology?

Traditional framing systems rely on friction-based T-slot connections that loosen over time, especially under vibration. AngleLock's patented design creates mechanically locked joints with 5 planes of anchoring.

  • 10x Stronger: Mechanically locked joints rival welded steel strength
  • Vibration Proof: Connections tighten under load, never loosen
  • 50% Faster: Self-aligning brackets reduce assembly time
  • Fully Modular: Reconfigure without weakening the structure
