Cooling transfer plate: flatness and surface finish
A large machined plate where flatness and surface finish decide thermal contact — and where clamping strategy matters as much as the machine.

Challenge
Large thin plates move when material stress is released. Clamping that distorts the part during finishing gives a flat part on the machine and a bent one on the inspection table.
