Reactor vessels, pumps, turbines and generators for nuclear power plants are generally heavy-duty in nature and require a rugged yet precise workholding system to manufacture. Our hardened tables are designed to support over 12,000 pounds each. Two tables joined together can support over 24,000 pounds of weight and still hold accuracies in the thousandths of an inch.
