| FEATURES |
- Stevens Subplates set the industry standard
for accuracy and versatility. Save 15 minutes to 2 hours on
every fixture setup. Subplates pay for themselves in 20-50
setups.
|
- Jig-bored bushed holes and threaded holes
form the basic Stevens pattern for mounting modular accessories.
|
- Subplate is permanently aligned to machine
axes and becomes an accurate reference for machine setups.
Accuracy of grid eliminates the need for indicating or probing.
|
- Stevens Subplates are precision ground to a
parallelism of .0005 " per 40". Accuracy of grid
is detailed HERE.
|
- Counterbored clearance holes to fit the
T-slot or threaded hole pattern on any make and model of milling
machine are included.
|
- Over 300 shapes and sizes of
subplates are available to fit virtually any make or model of
milling machine. Specify the make and model of machine when
ordering subplates.

alignment to the machine axes is generally done with an indicator in
the machine spindle by referencing two Subplate bushings.
Additional locating features for positioning Subplates are available
if desired. |
Subplate
locating features to match machine pallet locators are
recommended to simplify positioning and alignment of Subplates on
horizontal mills.

| EDM
Machines |
| Stevens
Subplates and accessories are ideal for ram-type EDM machines.
Stevens Chip plugs are recommended to keep debris out of
threaded holes and bushed holes in Subplates. |
|
| Starter
Subplate P/N 175110-1 |
| Ideal
for knee mills with small workpieces. May be easily moved from one machine
to another. Starter Subplates may be exchanged at any time for a larger
Subplate which is matched to your machine table. |
|
| Project
Subplates |
|
Used to build setups using
modular setup components in an area separate from the machining operation.
They may then be quickly and accurately mounted onto primary table tooling
at any time.
Project Subplates are available
in various sizes including Silo Subplates and Project Subplates for
2-sided Angle Plates. |

|
|
OPTIONS
|
| COOLANT RETURN TROUGH is
recommended on knee type mills using flood coolant. Trough allows for
return of coolant to the sump. Chip filter screens are included.
|
|
| ‘C’ SERIES PATTERN
is
a lower cost alternative to the basic pattern because of fewer threaded
holes. This pattern is used for quick mounting of dedicated fixtures,
project plates, and some accessories. It is not suitable for building
fixtures with setup components. |
 |
| RISER
SUBPLATES are used on machines
used mainly for flat, low-profile work that needs to be raised closer to
the spindle nose. Riser section may be integral with Subplate or may be
removable if Subplate is also to be used in its standard thickness. |
 |
| ALPHANUMERIC ADDRESS
MARKING is available as an option on all Stevens Subplates.
Deep-etched letters and numbers facilitate documenting location of
locators and clamps for future duplication of setups. |
|
| MATCH
GRINDING Multiple
Subplates used on machines with pallet changers should be ordered match
ground unless machine control is capable of storing pallet offsets
independently. |
