Additionally, the platform can be used with a multi-functional face plate for indexers and five-axis machining centers. The X-Plate can be configured as modular fixturing in custom slots, a quick-change receiver for plates, mini tombstones and longer trunnions. It also accepts Raptor dovetail components and the Piranha zero-point base.
