Cast platen A long, thin cylinder in a typewriter or printer that guides the paper through it and serves as a backstop for the printing mechanism to bang into. It is typically made of a hard rubber or rubber-like material. See carriage and typewriter.  heaters are manufactured as a durable heat source for commercial applications. Platens can be manufactured with thicknesses from 1/2" and up. A rugged tubular heating element Noun 1. heating element - the component of a heater or range that transforms fuel or electricity into heat

 is distributed evenly to provide a uniform temperature pattern across the surface. CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) See numerical control.

 machining operations are said to provide surface finishes from 125 rms to 8 rms, depending on the application. The standard flatness tolerance is .005", but other tolerance specifications are available. Secondary coatings such as Teflon or nickel can be added to enhance surface performance characteristics. These platen heaters can also accommodate a host of mounting options, including threaded holes, cast-in stud terminals or mounting tabs. The efficient heat transfer characteristics of the cast-in design offer higher wattage wattage
