STANDRIDGE granite surface plates provide an accurate reference plane for work inspection and for work layout. Their high degree of flatness, overall quality and workmanship also make them ideal bases for mounting sophisticated mechanical, electronic and optical gauging systems. The size and capacity of our modern facility allows us to manufacture to nearly any custom requirement.
All of the granite we use has been carefully measured to establish the modulus of elasticity, allowing us to comply and exceed federal specifications and user requirements.
Our granite surface plates are manufactured in three ledge types as well as standard sizes and grades.
Plates that have ledges are used for clamping purposes only.
STANDRIDGE stands are constructed with a three-point suspension to properly support your granite surface plate. All plates are marked with three suspension points on the bottom of the plate, which coincide with the three suspension points on the top of the stand. The alignment of these points will ensure the guaranteed accuracy of your plate.
Stands are constructed from welded steel, with a durable gray finish to provide exceptional strength and durability. Each stand is made to a standard 36-inch working height, unless otherwise specified.
Stationary stands have leveling screws on the bottom of each leg. Locking Castered Stands are equipped with two swivel and two rigid casters to allow the plate and stand to be easily rolled or locked in place. The leveling bolts are located on top of the stand in the three point suspension.
