SLM-1 Heavy Duty Robot Mounting Base

The SLM-1 is described as a heavy duty robot mounting base from Swivellink. A mounting base of this type is a thick plate or fabricated pedestal that anchors a larger industrial robot to the floor or to a stand, with a hole pattern matching the robot flange. It must withstand the dynamic reaction forces and tipping moments generated during acceleration and stopping, so these bases are normally made of thick steel or heavy aluminium and bolted or anchored to a concrete floor or rigid frame. Features may include machined mounting surfaces for flatness, locating dowel holes, lifting provisions and cable routing openings. Typical applications include robot cells for material handling, machine tending, welding and palletizing, where stable positioning improves accuracy and safety.
