How granite bases improve machine tool performance
There are many elements that go into building a truly accurate machine tool, and one that will maintain its accuracy over time.
There are a number of add-ons that can improve accuracy, but none can compensate for a design that is structurally unsound. It all starts with the base, one of the most important components.
This whitepaper focuses on analyzing the benefits that the use of granite brings to the machine’s performance compared to other types of materials.
