Bolt down provides a rigid fixation and is generally only used for High Frequency manipulators or tuner modules. The base is bolted to the bottom of the manipulator and the manipulator is moved over some predrilled and tapped holes in the platen. Once in position a bolt is inserted into the aligned holes and tightened to form a rigid mount to the platen. The primary downfall to bolt down bases is the platen they are mounted on has to be drilled and tapped. The holes are typically located in a certain orientation (West, East, North and South) and some of the flexibility to move the manipulators around the platen is limited.
