16 mm Tables Overview
A fast, accurate, and easy to use modular fixturing system. Enjoy fast setup replication and reduced project lead times in prototyping, short runs, and even large volume production runs.
BuildPro offers a complete line of heavy-duty tables for work holding in woodworking and metal fabrication. Featuring our tried and tested TM System, a professional line of work-holding tools used to clamp down and locate workpieces quickly and precisely.
Here we'll compare our three 16 mm welding table and fixturing systems. At the heart of each system lies a highly accurate and precisely machined steel table frame, engineered for precision and rigidity. The three systems we offer are the ALPHA 16, a premier line providing five usable fixture surfaces, the top and four sides; the MAX line, akin to the Alpha 16 but with a focus on the top surface only, without side fixture plates; and finally, the MAX SLOTTED featuring a 40 mm gap between fixture plates to accommodate clamps or "t-slot" adapters that facilitates seamless positioning of clamping tools. All tables are available in various sizes and leg options, including height-adjustable legs and add-on casters for enhanced mobility. Let's explore these game-changing systems and discover how they can improve your manufacturing capabilities.
Alpha 16 TablesAlpha 16 is Heavy duty 5-sided table with 16 mm diameter boreholes, combined with our patent-exclusive, reversible, and replaceable top and side plates. All top plates are constructed from heat-treated steel, hardened to 58-62 HRC, and finished with a nitrite coating with a case depth of 0.01 - 0.02 mm. |
MAX TablesOur single-sided heavy-duty tables feature boreholes on the top surface with patented self-locating and reversible table top plates. MAX tables are available in standard and nitrided tabletop finishes. |
MAX SLOTTED TablesThe slotted tables feature open gaps between the top plates. Providing extra versatility, allowing you to slide clamping tools or pliers using T-Slot adapters or Sliding Channel on the open slot edges as clamping surfaces. MAX SLOTTED tables are available in standard and nitrided tabletop finishes. |
