The majority of our surface plates are produced with black granite.
Upon request, we can also manufacture other granite plates as well. Plates are produced to meet international specification ISO-8512.
Final inspection of our surface plates is done with an autocollimator or electronic levels and Repeat-O-meter.
Special loading and size considerations can be quoted upon request.
In addition to our standard surface plate sizes, we will quote any other size requirements you may have.
We can also make modifications to your plate, which includes t-slots, inserts, holes, etc.
