All AMROK Tombstones and Grid Plates are custom made to your specifications and are available with:
We well make to your specification: cube tombstones, single-angle and double-angle tombstones, cross-column tombstones, window frame tombstones, octagon tombstones, hexagon tombstones, triangle tombstones, Y tombstones, risers, consoles, angle-blocks, and plates.
AMROK Tombstones and Grid Plates are designed to either a “Standard” or a “Precision” tolerance. The Precision Tolerance is designed to be the industry’s tightest tolerance for flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity, surface finish and hole location. All Tombstones / Grid Plates are built, and then inspected using AME’s in-house Co-ordinate Measuring Machines to verify compliance to specification.
Locating of Tombstones and Grid plates to your machine tool is accomplished by precision hardened and ground wear pads, milled edge locating, center locating, locating keys or any other mounting configuration you may require.
See the Catalog tab above for more information.

3. Material: Cast Iron, Aluminum, or Steel
4. Quality: Standard or Precision
5. Machining Specification
All tombstones are made to fit your machining center either by edge locating or with hardened and ground wear pads, center locating, or just plain mounting holes to your specifications.
We can provide plain faces, hole grid patterns with precision bushings and threaded inserts, precision T-slots, or any machining to your specifications. All configurations are available in standard or precision. All tombstones and plates are stress relieved. We also specialize in hydraulic/pneumatic or manual dedicated fixturing. We at Advanced Machine & Engineering have a complete team of engineers to design and build whatever type of fixture you might need.
Approval drawings are provided before manufacturing. CMM report is available upon request.
