Installation Requirements for Linear Guides on Marble Platforms
In the process of industrial production, marble platforms are type of high-precision measuring reference surface, and their unique physical characteristics give them significant advantages in the field of precision measurement.
In some industries, it is necessary to install guides marble, mainly divided into two categories: one is to drill holes on the marble platform and install guides to test the straightness and flatness of products. The second category is to guides on non-standard marble components to achieve the purpose of component design. So, what are the precautions when they install guides?
Precautions for Installing Guides
1 Keep the marble platform (the area where the guide is installed) clean and tidy. When cleaning, pour alcohol on a dust-free cloth and wipe the flat surface. After wip clean, use a dry and clean hand to lightly drag it on the surface of the platform. If there is a feeling of blockage, it needs to be scraped with a; if it is smooth and unobstructed, then the first step is completed.
- Take out the guide (wear rubber gloves to prevent the guide from rusting, use a dust-free cloth alcohol to wipe the guide installation surface, and remove the guide oil. After cleaning, place the guide in the installation area of the marble platform align the hole positions.
- Align the hole positions of the guide and the marble installation holes, place the marble level next to the guide (the distance should be close not far), and make it roughly parallel to the guide. If the marble has an installation reference surface, the marble level can be omitted, and the reference surface of the marble or component itself can be used to adjust the guide.
- Fix the first hole position of the guide, leaving room for adjustment up, down, left, and right. a magnetic dial indicator lever indicator (it is not recommended to use other types of indicators) on the guide slide block, and then adjust the marble level to ensure the installation of the guide (if there are any questions, please consult our professional personnel).
- Straighten the guide.
By this point, the guide installation is fully completed It should be noted that in this state, there is no problem using this guide to measure the relative straightness of the workpiece, but it is not accurate to measure the flat of the workpiece in the up-down direction. This is because there is an error in the Y-shaped undulation of the guide itself, and the walking parallelism after should be confirmed with the guide manufacturer. If the guide is selected as an ultra-precision imported guide, its walking parallelism is sufficiently small, and this method can also be used measure the flatness of the workpiece.
FAQ
1. What is the maximum size of granite workbench that can be processed??
Normally, we have two types of granite platforms: regular granite platforms (usually available in stock) and customized granite platforms (customized according to customer needs, with delivery time). However, the maximum size that can be processed is one piece (no splicing, preferred for high-precision grade 00/000) and multiple piece splicing (extra large size, mostly used for grade 0 ordinary reference tables/equipment bases).
1. Our factory can achieve 4000mm × 2000mm × 700mm in a single piece (without splicing, with high-precision platforms of grade 00 and 000), with a conventional platform thickness of 150-400mm; heavy-duty bases can achieve 600-800mm;.
2. Multi piece splicing platform (can be made larger, mainly level 0, suitable for large equipment bases) Our factory can achieve 8000mm × 4000mm × 600mm (splicing short board: the accuracy at the splicing joint is slightly poor, and there is a slight risk of misalignment between the boards under long-term temperature and humidity cycles. High precision measurement should avoid splicing as much as possible).
3. Selection reference suggestions.
✅ Level 000/Level 00 Metrology Inspection Platform: Priority given to integrated whole piece, recommended ≤ 3000 × 2000mm.
✅ Level 0 large-scale assembly and equipment base: splicing solutions can be selected to achieve a size of 6 meters or even larger.
✅ Thickness selection: The larger the length and width, the thicker the height (thickness) must be to prevent deflection and deformation of the tabletop, for example, 3000 × 2000, starting from a conventional thickness of 500mm

2. How many micrometers can the flatness reach? Can the accuracy be achieved at level 00, level 0, or level 000? What are the levels of 000/00/0?
Our factory achieves different levels of precision for different sizes. The small-sized integrated platform (≤ 1500 × 1000mm) can be used for all levels of 000/00/0, and can be ground and tested in a constant temperature and humidity workshop. Medium to large-sized integrated whole piece (1500 × 1000~3000 × 2000mm), capable of stable operation at level 00 and 0; Customization is possible at level 000, but the difficulty is high, requiring long-term constant temperature aging, ultra precision grinding, and shock-absorbing foundation;
3. Should we use Jinan green or other granite?
The commonly used stone materials in our factory are Jinan Qing, Indian, Zhangqiu, and Northeast materials. Jinan Qing is the benchmark substrate for precision granite platforms in China, and is the preferred choice for Class 000/00 high-precision; At the same time, other granite materials such as Indian black and Zhangqiu black can be selected according to the customer's budget and usage.
