Crystal Pink Granite Surface Plates
Crystal Pink is the finest, most durable granite surface plate available to industry today. The name is derived from the fact that it has the highest crystalline quartz content of any granite surface plate.
Surface Finish
Even distribution of large quartz crystals provides a smooth finish, virtually eliminating wear on the surface plate and the instruments used on it. This fine micro-finish, combined with the natural voids in the surface, prevents wringing & provides a velvety-smooth tool action.
Wear Life
Our experience with surface plate performance in customers' plants shows that non-quartz-bearing granite in average daily use requires relapping about once a year. Crystal Pink plates used in these same plants have only required relapping once every three- to five years.
Meets or exceeds U.S. Federal Specification GGG-P-463C for flatness
Great surface hardness & wear resistance – the highest percentage of quartz crystals of any granite plate
Smooth, jewel-like quartz bearing points protect accuracy & finish of both the surface & the tools used on it
Quality & economy combined
Comparable to black granite plates while outwearing them as much as 5 to 1
Meets or exceeds 50 lb. per square foot (24 kg per 1,000 sq. cm) load bearing specifications. Available in 100 lb. (45 kg) test series
Standard-size plates are mounted on resilient support pads, providing isolation from normal vibration & a non-distorting 3-point suspension. Packed one in a crate with skids for forklift handling.
