Metrology - Inspection

Numerous manufacturers of measuring and inspection machines are now using Granitek Precision Granite Castings in favour of more traditional materials like granite, steel, cast iron, aluminium due the better material characteristics including, high thermal stability, very low moisture absorption, excellent damping, low reaction time to temperature changes. These are all critical factors for metrology equipment to continually check high tolerance components.

Examples of equipment where Granitek Precision Granite Castings are used,
CMM machines (base, uprights and bridge), Roundness checking (base and Column), Co-ordinate tables, Gear testing and measuring, Surface flatness-, roughness-, texture measurement, Dispensing and measurement.
