Pre-drilled Plate
Pre-drilled Plate
(OP)
Hello All,
I am asked to design pre-drilled plate that will allow the bolting on of future arrangements. But unfortunately dimensions between holes(both in horizontal & vertical)can vary. I am thinking to have some rows of horizontal slots but it will let me play in horizontal distance. In this case I can face with problem in verticals where vertical distance between bolts of arrangement might not coincide with distance among slot rows or vise versa. Can you guys give me some good ideas how to design the best?
Thanks in advance.

Too many questions...not enough info provided.

i'd start by over laying the different patterns and seeing what comes to mind.
if you can make the patterns far apart, then they won't interact ... have a pattern for each installation.
maybe you can reuse one hole, and arrange the others far enough apart.
maybe the holes are close together ? maybe then use a large hole that encloses both locations and use an eccentric bush.
maybe drill off the plate to suit the specific installation ??
like ron says ... too many questions

Hopefully this will help.
RE: Pre-drilled Plate
how do the hole patterns compare ? ... "two rows" ... can you inter-pitch rows ??
do you need a single baseplate (with lots of holes), or could you fabricate a plate, bolting together a couple plates, and so separate one row of holes from another ?

If it is not cleared let me know.

why not put a separate set of holes for each possible "rectangle" ? how many "different equipments" are you mounting ?
