ITP Group can also fabricate steel surface tables and plates on request in-house, as an alternative to both granite and cast iron.

Steel plates are generally used when granite and cast iron are too heavy for the location that they are to be used in.

For example,  due to the constraints of the  Styling Studio at McLaren Automotive being on the first floor, ITP specifically designed and constructed steel surface tables and tracks of 18 meters in length and 5 meters wide...and all located on an an upper level, rather than ground floor level.

After millions of years of natural stress relieving, granite; having high rigidity and non-magnetic properties as well as being totally corrosion and stress-free, becomes the most reliable product for inspection purposes where an accurate datum is of top priority.

ITP Group Granite Surface Tables & Standards Feature:

• Nationally traceable Certificate of Calibration

Cost Effective Solutions For Precision Granite Applications

ITP Group have developed a unique method of manufacturing cost effective precision granite products - from single piece components to multi-component assemblies where rigidity and stability are not compromised, and have been proven for use within precision industries such as silicon chip and semi-conductor production.

As well as the ability to be manufactured to low critical geometrical tolerances, granite is the material of choice for the basis of machine tools and coordinate measuring equipment for a variety of reasons including:

• Low Cost
• High Rigidity
• Virtual Non-Magnetic Properties
• Low Co-Efficient of Thermal Expansion
• High Vibration Absorption
• Inert - No External Coating Required
• Corrosion & Stress-Free
• Unrivaled Flatness
• High Durability
• Low Maintenance

Despite common perception, ITP Group can source granite cheaper than traditional materials such as cast iron and steel, and granite is the most reliable material where accuracy and low thermal expansion are key.
