Areas of Specialism

We manufacture tooling plates for the energy industry. Designed individually, they meet the requirements of the wind power industry, power plant construction, condenser, nuclear, pump and gas turbine as well as generator and large-scale transmission system engineering.

We offer high-quality turnkey product solutions: from planning and development, through design and manufacture, complimented by worldwide delivery and assembly – everything can be reliably obtained from one flexible source.

To cushion the high forces applied during testing, the plates are often combined with a seismic mass. In this context, the seismic masses are not only used as a rigid base for machines, but also as inert masses. The foundation usually consists of a reinforced concrete construction with a cross-sectional shape and mass adapted to the application.

In addition, the plates are firmly anchored to the concrete foundation. The design of the plates and/or the plate / concrete foundation combination can be tailored according to the application in question and precisely configured to the speed, momentum and force to be applied to the test specimen by the drive unit.

At the customer’s request, FEM calculations for the plate or the foundation can be carried out for a more accurate definition of the plate design. We can carry out all planning services required along with the construction work.

We can also mount the plates and foundations so as to secure vibration isolation, with access to various air, steel or elastomer spring systems. PES will adapt to your requirements!

High quality tooling plates for the energy industry

Stolle base plates are an essential component of every test stand. Our many years of experience in the automobile industry allow us to produce test stand plates to meet your exact requirements.

Car driving on road

We offer you high-quality turnkey product solutions: from planning and development, through design and manufacture right on to worldwide delivery and assembly – everything can be obtained from one flexible and absolutely reliable source.

Our test stand plates have oscillation-insulated bearings, which reduce vibrations and shocks by up to 90 percent. The adjustable air suspension system and high intrinsic weight of the plates result in extremely low frequencies, irrespective of the load.

Areas of application for Stolle test stand plates:

  • Engine test stands
  • Gear test stands
  • Exhaust test stands
  • Brake test stands
  • Axle test stands
  • Acoustic test stands
  • Roller test stands
  • Torsion test stands
  • Shaker test stands
  • Road simulation test stands

Stolle plates are individually designed, depending on the size and weight of the components to be measured, adjusted to load and manufactured for a variety of guide systems.

T-slots, drill-holes and marking lines can be incorporated according to your requirements. Thanks to our high manufacturing capacity and flexible processes, we can respond to all your requirements and product changes at short notice, offering you rapid delivery.

Thanks to their dense surface structure, Stolle measuring or marking plates have a particularly high section modulus against bending or buckling. For this reason, they are used wherever a precise and even surface has to form the basis, or where parts are checked, measured or marked during development or production.

We are one of the largest suppliers of measuring plates in the field of horizontal measuring systems, and our customers include all of the renowned manufacturers of gauging machines in Europe.

Stolle measuring plates are manufactured in compliance with accuracy level DIN 876. The plates are individually constructed and their load bearing capacity adjusted according to the size and weight of the workpieces to be measured.

The measuring plates can be manufactured for many different guide systems. Special lateral processing for connection to measuring machines is also possible.

We offer a wide range of set-up and adjustment elements for precise alignment on the foundation.

Cast Iron Bed Plates

Stolle bed plates are cast in a special process that guarantees the least possible tension within the cast material, ensuring optimal rigidity and stability.

Rails

The fixing rails are attached to the foundations by fixing anchors and forcing screws, precisely aligned and filled with concrete. Providing the appropriate machine holding option.

Angle Plates

Angle plates, with a box-shaped cast design, are required for almost all boring and milling machines to fix workpieces in a vertical position. 

Surface Tables

The table surfaces are available in various accuracy levels, in accordance with DIN 876. The edges are machined at clean angles to the surface.
