Small frames and brackets
Locate short profiles, tabs and brackets while keeping clamps close to the weld joint.
D16 modular hole system
D16 welding tablesfor precision work
Ø16 mm holes on a 50 mm grid. Light to medium parts, jigs, frames and detail work.
Why D16
Fine positioning for compact assemblies
A dense hole pattern for compact fixtures and precise sub-assemblies where space around the part is tight. Best when the workpiece is small enough that a fine grid helps positioning.
Choose D16 when the operator needs many nearby clamping positions around a small workpiece. The 50 mm grid makes it easier to place stops close to corners, tabs and narrow profiles without building an oversized fixture.
- Hole diameter: Ø16 mm
- Standard grid: 50 mm
- Steel or nitrided steel platform options
- Tooling matched to the Ø16 mm bore
D16 project profile
The workpiece and clamping load decide whether this is the right system.
- Typical work
- Light to medium parts, jigs, frames and detail work
- Fixture plan
- Compact clamps, low stops, small angle squares and quick-locking pins matched to the 16 mm bore.
- Choose another
- Move to D22 or D28 when the workpiece is heavy enough that clamping force and fixture stiffness matter more than close grid spacing.
- Quote input
- Drawing, size, weight, flatness, quantity and destination
Typical D16 work
Where this hole system earns its place
Examples are a selection guide. Final table construction and support are confirmed from the approved workpiece drawing.
Precision jigs
Build compact checking and assembly fixtures where repeatable stop positions are more useful than maximum clamp size.
Sub-assemblies
Fixture light machine parts and welded modules before they move into a larger final assembly.
Quote checklist
Configure the D16 3D welding table around the workpiece
This is a made-to-order modular welding fixture table, not one fixed stock model. The approved drawing sets the platform size, working height, surface, accuracy and matched accessory kit.
Use the checklist to give a welding table manufacturer enough information to review the configuration before quoting.
Workpiece envelope
Send the largest part dimensions and weight so the table area and support arrangement can be checked.
Positioning detail
Mark the edges, holes or faces used as datums so the 50 mm grid can be planned around the fixture.
Surface and flatness
Choose machined steel or nitrided steel and state whether 0.1, 0.05 or 0.02 mm/m² flatness is required.
Matched D16 tooling
List the clamps, low stops, angle squares and pins needed for the first repeatable setup.
Platform finish
Use the same hole system on either surface
Select the platform construction and treatment from production volume, wear and maintenance requirements.

D16, D22 or D28: pick the grid around the work
The hole system sets how much holding force the table gives you and how fine the positioning is. It is the first decision, because every clamp, pin and stop has to match it.

- Best for
- Large fabrications, thick plate and heavy welded structures
What actually changes between the series
Larger holes take larger pins and clamps, so a D28 table holds heavy structures more securely. Smaller holes let you place stops closer together, which helps small parts and tight geometry. The machined grid, hole spacing and flatness are set at the same time, so tell us the workpiece and we will match the system to it.
- Grid spacing confirmed against the drawing
- Plain bore matched to the selected system
- Flatness from 0.1 mm/m² down to 0.02 mm/m²
Questions
D16 welding table questions
If your question is not here, send it over — practical answers are usually faster than a specification sheet.
- Why does the D16 table use a 50 mm grid?
- The closer grid gives more positioning choices around small parts. Stops and clamps can be placed near compact geometry without requiring a large fixture plate.
- Is D16 suitable for heavy structural frames?
- D16 is intended for light and medium work. For large frames, thick plate or high clamping loads, D28 is normally the better starting point.
- What should I send for a D16 quotation?
- Send the workpiece drawing, overall dimensions, weight, required working area, flatness requirement and the number of clamps and stops you expect to use.
- What sizes and surfaces are available for a D16 3D welding table?
- BECO tables are configured from 500 × 500 mm up to 4000 × 2000 mm, subject to the approved drawing. D16 platforms can be supplied as machined steel or with plasma nitriding, with the support and working height selected for the job.
