Cast iron measuring workbench

Cast iron workbench, also known as cast iron plate or cast iron platform, is suitable for various inspection tasks and serves as a reference plane for precision measurement. It is primarily used as a reference surface in the inspection and measurement of mechanical workpieces, checking dimensional accuracy or behavioral deviations, and can also be used for precision marking. In mechanical manufacturing inspection, it is an indispensable planar reference measuring tool. Cast iron workbenches undergo two artificial treatments (artificial annealing at 600°C-700°C or natural aging for 2-3 years).
Cast iron workbench accuracy: Executed according to the national standard metrological verification regulations, divided into six grades: 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, and fine planing.
Cast iron workbench specifications: 200×200—2000×4000 (special specifications can be manufactured according to the buyer's drawings or agreed upon by both parties for production and processing).
Cast iron is mainly divided into gray cast iron, ductile cast iron, and white cast iron. In the industrial field, gray cast iron and ductile cast iron are the most widely used. Gray cast iron has good casting performance, machinability, and vibration damping performance, while ductile cast iron has higher strength, wear resistance, and impact resistance.
Cast iron workbenches are highly wear-resistant. The cast iron material has wear resistance, can withstand heavy pressure and friction for a long time, and is not easily damaged. They are resistant to deformation; when subjected to external forces, cast iron workbenches can maintain good shape stability and are not prone to deformation. They offer excellent stability, providing a flat and reliable processing reference to ensure accuracy and repeatability.
The material selection for cast iron workbenches is a process that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. By deeply understanding the characteristics and advantages of different cast iron materials and combining them with specific usage scenarios and requirements, we can select the appropriate cast iron workbench material, providing strong support for the development of the industrial manufacturing field.
Cast iron workbenches are widely used in machining, tool workshops, maintenance workshops, large equipment bases, metrology rooms, and high-precision processing inspection, measurement, and grinding. They can also measure and inspect the flatness, straightness, and angular tolerance of workpieces.
When selecting a cast iron workbench, it is recommended to consult professional manufacturers or technicians to ensure the purchase of a suitable product. At the same time, proper use and maintenance can extend the service life of the cast iron workbench and improve production efficiency. With the continuous advancement of technology and the emergence of new materials, there may be even better materials for manufacturing cast iron workbenches in the future. Therefore, when selecting and using cast iron workbenches, we also need to stay informed about new technologies and materials to update and upgrade our equipment in a timely manner.
