All granite surface tables, surface plates, bed plates and metrology tooling are manufactured using close-grained fine black granite

Precision lapped

Bespoke sizes, layouts and interface features

Available in finished single pieces up to 6,000mm x 2,000mm

Manufactured in accordance with ISO 8512 or BS 817 - grading subject to size and specification.

Granite In Metrology

Granite provides a stable, non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant surface, ideal for demanding metrology environments.

Its natural hardness, rigidity and fine-grained structure provide an extremely stable reference surface for high-accuracy measurement. Granite offers excellent flatness retention, low thermal expansion and minimal susceptibility to warping or deformation over time, even in controlled or fluctuating environments.

Inherent vibration damping helps reduce measurement error, while resistance to corrosion and wear makes granite well suited to both laboratory and industrial applications. As a non-magnetic, chemically inert material, granite ensures consistent measurement performance across a wide range of operating conditions.

When correctly specified, installed and maintained, granite delivers consistent, repeatable performance over time.

Granite Bed Plates

Granite bed plates provide a rigid, stable foundation for inspection and measurement applications.

Designed for floor-mounted applications, typically surface-mounted or flush with final floor level.

Fully customisable in size, layout and interface features to meet specific inspection and operational requirements.

Surfaces are available plain, with T-slots or threaded interface features.

Granite Surface Tables and Surface Plates

Granite surface tables and surface plates provide a rigid, stable foundation for inspection and measurement applications.

Serving the same function as bed plates, surface tables are typically smaller and can be mounted on a stand or frame to provide a comfortable working height.

Fully customisable in size, layout and interface features to meet specific inspection and operational requirements.

Surfaces are available plain, with T-slots or threaded interface features.
