A platen for use in a clamping operation wherein a force is generated having a first direction includes a first wall having edges and a center area and at least first and second sides, wherein the first side is adapted to be positioned nearest the clamping operation. The platen further includes a second wall spaced from and substantially parallel to he first wall, wherein the first and second walls extend substantially transverse to the first direction of the force. An intermediate support structure is positioned between the walls and is used to direct the force from the edges of the first wall toward the center area of the first wall for substantially preventing non-uniform deflection of the first wall along the first side. Un plato de prensa para utilizarse en una operacion de sujecion, en el que la fuerza es generada que tiene una primera direccion incluye una primera pared que tiene bordes y un área central y por lo menos primero y segundo lados, en el que el primer lado está adaptado para colocarse más cerca de la operacion de sujecion. El plato para prensa incluye además una segunda pared separada de, y sustancialmente paralela a la primera pared, en la que la primera y segunda paredes se extienden sustancialmente transversal a la primera direccion de la fuerza. Una estructura de soporte intermedia está colocada entre las paredes y es utilizada para dirigir la fuerza de los bordes de la primera pared para evitar sustancialmente la deflexion no uniforme de la primera pared a lo largo del primer lado.
