Surface Table Levelling Services

Granite & Cast Iron Surface Table & Plate Levelling Laboratory

Precision Granite and Cast Iron Surface Tables and Plates are relied on as the foundation for accurate measurement in machine shops, all types of precise manufacturing, defence, automotive, aerospace manufacturing companies and laboratories. They are the benchmark for all measurements.

 

Their accuracy is essential to ensuring the quality of products; therefore, they must be rigorously tested to ensure consistent and repeatable results. As far as use is concerned, Surface Table Levelling and Calibration are required regularly.

What is the term levelling?

Accordingly to the Cambridge Dictionary, levelling means to present a participle of level.

 

[1] The basic concept of levelling involves determining the height measurement relative to a horizontal line of the surface. The process demands a person to take the vertical measures and an instrument to establish the horizontal lin

Does a Surface Table need to be Level? 

A surface table only needs to be as level as required by the function and use. With greater accuracy necessary for some applications, it is always beneficial to have a known level datum to take measurements without concern.

Principle of Surface Table Levelling

The levelling of a surface table should always be done on the three primary points, with the remaining adjustable points being for additional support but should not be load-bearing.

What if the Surface Table Frame does not have Three Primary Levelling Points?
 

Some surface tables are supplied as standard with four primary points on the top and/or bottom. It is even more crucial that these are not moved after being correctly set up. The change in the position can lead to more pressure being applied to different points. As a result, the surface table "rocks" when leaning on one corner, and the working surface distorts or "twists", consequently invalidating the calibration certificate.

Multiple Adjustable Points

The framework can have multiple adjustable points for some surface tables (significantly larger cast iron). It is vital these surface tables are not moved from where they are calibrated and certified for the same reasons as above.

Our engineers can adjust these surface tables to ensure that each point has the correct load bearing to maximise the flatness of the working surface.
