Cast-Iron.
Engineered For Precision

Grey cast iron is one of the foundational materials for metrology applications , combining superior vibration damping, thermal and dimensional stability, and long-term durability
The internal graphite flake structure provides excellent vibration damping, thermal and dimensional stability and long-term durability. Low thermal expansion ensures that measurements remain stable even under fluctuating temperatures. These properties make grey cast iron ideal for bed plates, surface tables, machine bases, and measurement fixtures in demanding environments, where long-term accuracy and reliability are critical.
When properly specified, installed and maintained, grey cast iron offers exceptional longevity and reliability.

Cast-iron bed plates provide a rigid and stable foundation for inspection, measurement and machining operations.
Designed for floor mounted applications, either surface mounted or installed flush with the final floor level in a pit.
Bed plates can be fully customised in size, layout and interface features to meet specific inspection and operational requirements.
Surfaces are available plain, with T-slots or threaded interface features.
For large working areas, multiple smaller bed plates can be combined into plate fields. This approach provides installation flexibility and allows for future reconfiguration and utilisation.
Cast-iron surface tables provide a rigid and stable foundation for inspection and measurement applications.
Serving the same fundamental purpose as bed plates but are typically smaller in size and can be mounted on a stand or frame to allow work to take place at a comfortable working height.
Surface tables can be fully customised in size, layout and interface features to meet specific inspection and operational requirements.
Surfaces are available plain, with T-slots or threaded interface features.


Cast-iron angle plates and strong walls provide accurate right-angle reference surfaces for workpiece setup, alignment and inspection tasks.
Angle plates and strong walls can be fully customised in size, layout and interface features to meet specific inspection and operational requirements.
Surfaces are available plain, with T-slots or threaded interface features.
We offer a comprehensive range of cast-iron metrology tooling designed and manufactured to support specific inspection and operational requirements.
From bespoke inspection fixtures and special-purpose components to inspection and tool room equipment.
