Profile-based EOAT is great for some applications, but sometimes a lower cost, lighter weight, and easier to assemble option can be used. To suit these needs, EMI also offers plate-based EOAT.

Typical plate-based EOAT is laser cut from 1/8", 3/16", or 1/4" aluminum or 12-gauge stainless steel—standard materials in our inventory. Shown in the following pages of examples, excess weight is removed by material cutouts. Thinner, lighter material can be strengthened by incorporating reinforcing bends.

Call 216-535-4848 or email our EOAT engineering department to discuss which is better for your application.
