The "slightly" different and lighter measuring plate
Stable, precise structural plates thanks to sandwich construction.
Quality assurance is gaining greater significance in all areas of measurement. Consequently, measuring systems and testing facilities must meet ever-increasing demands for process stability. Measuring plates are among the oldest tools in quality assurance. They are needed as reference surfaces when using various measuring instruments and devices. Commonly, these plates are made from natural hard stone, granite, cast iron, or steel.
The structure plates constructed in a sandwich design from high-strength aluminum offer very high self-stability at comparatively low weight, making them more flexible to use than conventional measuring plates made of granite or cast iron.
The precise and stable structure plates are excellent as a base for measurement setups or fixtures and can thus serve as a replacement for measuring tables. They exhibit high self-stability, temperature resistance, vibration damping, and accuracy. The sandwich-structured plates can be used as either vertical or horizontal solutions. In combination with air bearings or roller systems, depending on the floor conditions, manually operated mobile solutions can also be created.
