High-Performance Zero-Point Clamping Plates: Elevate Your Machining Efficiency

Published on July 19, 2025

In the fast-paced world of precision manufacturing, the search for reliable, efficient, and compatible tooling solutions is never-ending. Zero-point quick-change plates have emerged as a game-changer, streamlining workflows and boosting productivity. Today, we introduce our cutting-edge zero-point quick-change plates, designed to meet the most demanding industrial standards while ensuring seamless integration with your existing setup.

Compatible with Leading International Brands

One of the standout features of our zero-point quick-change plates is their exceptional compatibility. Available with 52MM and 96MM pull stud hole spacings, they are perfectly designed to work with renowned international brands like LANG. This means you don’t have to overhaul your entire tooling system to enjoy the benefits of our high-quality products. Whether you’re upgrading your current setup or expanding your production line, our quick-change plates fit right in, saving you time and resources.

Industry-Leading Repeat Positioning Accuracy

Precision is non-negotiable in machining, and our zero-point quick-change plates deliver in spades. Boasting a repeat positioning accuracy of less than 0.005mm, they set a new benchmark for excellence in the industry. This ultra-high precision ensures that every time you swap out workpieces or tools, the positioning remains consistent, minimizing errors and reducing scrap rates. Whether you’re working on intricate components or large-scale productions, you can trust our plates to maintain the accuracy your operations demand.

Powerful Clamping Force and Durable Construction

When it comes to machining heavy workpieces, a strong and reliable clamping force is essential. Our zero-point quick-change plates are built to handle the toughest jobs, with a clamping force of up to 30KN. This impressive force ensures that even the heaviest workpieces stay securely in place during machining, preventing slippage and ensuring stable, high-quality results.

We understand that industrial equipment needs to withstand rigorous daily use, which is why our zero-point quick-change plates are built to last. The main body is crafted from high-quality stainless steel that undergoes a specialized hardening process, achieving a hardness of HRC55-58. This exceptional hardness ensures resistance to wear, impact, and corrosion, significantly extending the product’s lifespan.

Superior Surface Treatment and Customizable Bases

To further enhance precision and durability, our zero-point quick-change plates undergo surface hardening and ultra-high-precision grinding. The surface hardening process adds an extra layer of protection, making the plates more resistant to scratches and wear. Meanwhile, the ultra-high-precision grinding ensures a smooth, flat surface that minimizes friction and ensures perfect contact with workpieces and tools.

Every machining setup is unique, which is why we offer customizable bases for our zero-point quick-change plates. Whether you need a specific size, shape, or mounting configuration, our team can tailor the base to meet your exact requirements. This versatility allows our plates to be used across a wide range of machine tools and industries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between your 52mm and 96mm pull stud spacing?

The 52mm and 96mm spacings refer to the distance between the clamping studs. This matches international standards, like those set by LANG. The 96mm spacing is typically used for larger base plates and heavier workpieces, offering greater stability, while the 52mm spacing is common for smaller vises and fixtures. Both offer the same <0.005mm repeatability.

How is the 30KN clamping force achieved and is it mechanical?

The clamping force is achieved through a high-precision, spring-actuated mechanical locking system. When engaged, a series of powerful springs apply constant, high pressure to lock the pull studs. This is *not* reliant on pneumatic or hydraulic pressure to *hold* (only to release), ensuring that clamping force is maintained even if air pressure is lost, which is a critical safety feature.

You mention HRC55-58 hardness. Why is this specific range important?

This hardness (HRC55-58), achieved through a specialized stainless steel hardening process, represents the optimal balance between toughness and wear resistance. It's hard enough to resist wear, deformation, and brinelling from the pull studs over millions of cycles, but not so brittle that it risks cracking under sharp impacts or heavy loads, ensuring long-term precision and durability.

Can these plates be used in an automated setup with robots?

Yes, absolutely. These plates are designed for automation. They feature integrated air-blast ports for self-cleaning of the clamping mechanism and reference surfaces, which is essential to clear chips and coolant before a new pallet is loaded by a robot. We also offer options for pneumatic sensing to confirm the "clamped" or "unclamped" state, providing critical feedback to the robot controller.

What maintenance is required for these zero-point plates?

Maintenance is minimal but important for longevity. We recommend a daily visual inspection and cleaning of the reference surfaces. Periodically (e.g., monthly, depending on use), the mechanism should be cleaned and lubricated with a light, acid-free grease as specified in our technical manual. The sealed design protects the internal mechanism from coolant and chips, but regular preventative care ensures decades of flawless operation.
