The ART.580 / ART.581 Granite Surface Plates are engineered from premium black granite for high-precision measurement, inspection, and calibration tasks. Naturally non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant, and dimensionally stable, these plates are ideal for metrology labs, workshops, and quality control environments.
Key features
- Material: Black granite – non-magnetic, non-conductive, and corrosion-resistant
- Surface Finish: Lapped for optimal flatness and wear resistance
- Flatness Tolerance: Conforms to DIN 876/00 (ART.580) and DIN 876/0 (ART.581)
- Thermal Stability: Low coefficient of thermal expansion
- Long Service Life: Minimal wear over time, even under heavy use

Model Comparison: ART.580 vs ART.581
| Feature | ART.580 | ART.581 |
|---|---|---|
| Flatness Grade | DIN 876/00 (Ultra Precision) | DIN 876/0 (Standard Precision) |
| Use Case | Calibration, lab-grade inspection | General measurement, layout |
| Surface Finish | Higher precision lapping | Standard lapping |
| Price Point | Premium | More economical |
- Choose ART.580 for ultra-precise calibration and high-end metrology.
- Choose ART.581 for reliable, everyday inspection and layout work.
Why Choose Granite Over Cast Iron?
- No rust or corrosion
- Non-magnetic and electrically inert
- Superior wear resistance
- No internal stress or distortion over time
Optional Accessories
- Adjustable Steel Stands (ART.582 / ART.583)
- Anti-vibration mounts
