Anodized Aluminum Fork Transfer Plate for Substrate Handling
A thin machined plate with four-finger forks, lightening pockets and a full pattern of mounting and dowel holes, finished in anodizing. The controlling dimensions are the finger positions and the dowel pattern, not the outline.
Material
Aluminum 6061-T6
Tolerance
±0.02 mm on finger positions and dowel pattern
Process
CNC Milling
What This Part Does And What Matters On It
The function of the part, the features that carry the fit, and the requirements that decided how it was machined and checked.
A thin machined plate with four-finger forks along one edge, lightening pockets in the body and a full pattern of mounting and dowel holes, finished in anodizing. The forks and the dowel pattern are the controlling features: the outline can vary, the finger positions cannot.
Thin plates like this are roughed, released and finished with light passes so they stay flat after the clamps come off, and the finger positions are checked against the dowel pattern rather than against the outline. Where a fit feature is anodized it is machined to a pre-coating size.
Tell us what the forks carry and how the plate locates on the machine. The datum scheme decides the setup count, and the setup count is most of the price.

Have A Part Like This On Your Drawing?
Send the drawing with the material, quantity, and the tolerances your inspection actually checks. Owen reviews it against how this part was run and comes back within 24 hours on business days with a price, a lead time, and DFM notes before you commit to anything.
How This Part Was Machined
Thin plate roughed, released and finished with light passes to hold flatness; finger positions and the dowel pattern are cut from one datum in one setup. Fit features machined to a pre-anodizing size.
How This Part Was Checked
Finger positions and the dowel pattern checked optically against the datum; flatness on the granite plate after release.

Every Quote Comes With DFM Notes
Owen reads the drawing before pricing it: tolerances that add cost, features that need a second setup, finishes that change lead time. Send a STEP or PDF with the material and quantity, and the quote reflects what is actually machinable, within 24 hours on business days.
