Inter-Lakes Machine Bases & Dial Plates

Made in the USA

Represented by EAC in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia

Inter-Lakes builds precision welded and machined machine bases and frames in steel, aluminum and stainless steel, plus stress-relieved dial plates, risers, angle plates and work cell cabinets. This isn't aluminum extrusion. It's a heavy-duty, fabricated and machined base for machines where flatness, squareness and rigidity are part of the accuracy budget. EAC is the Inter-Lakes manufacturers' representative for PA, NJ, MD, DE and VA.

Steel: flatness 0.001 in/ft cumulative, parallelism ±0.001 in TIR, 63 µin finish
Rolled aluminum: Blanchard ground both sides, flatness 0.001 in/ft
Cast aluminum: machined both sides, flatness 0.003 in/ft

Structure

Risers, angle plates & pedestals

Machined structural components that mount tooling, stations and sub-assemblies at the right height and angle.

Enclosures
