Made of aluminum oxide ceramic, this Master Square is comparatively lightweight and easily loads into machine tools. The advanced ceramic material is harder than granite or steel, which significantly reduces wear on the Master Square surface. The non-porous ceramic is useful in facilities with high humidity and/or high temperatures because it eliminates moisture absorption and corrosion that can cause dimensional instability.
Because the thermal expansion coefficient in ceramic is low, measurements are consistently accurate. The Master Square is finished and calibrated to required Flatness, Squareness, and Parallelism with documented traceability to NIST.
When the Ceramic Master Square is used in conjunction with Locus® eM Measurement & Alignment Software (purchased separately), machine Squareness, Straightness, Parallelism, and Spindle Alignment can be measured by the Step by Step or On the Fly methods. Data analysis includes Least Squares Fit, End Point Fit, and No Fit.
Note: Additional Ceramic Master Squares, Ceramic Master Angles, Ceramic Parallels, Ceramic Surface Plates, & Ceramic Straight Edges are also available in specified grades and sizes.

Granite Master Squares are ideal for inspecting the X, Y and Z axes of machine tools. This product is very stable and rigid, providing the ultimate in squareness references. This master square has 5 finished faces (1 large face and 4 edges) finished flat, square and parallel to either laboratory grade AA (.000025” per 6”). All six faces can be finished upon request.
Note: Additional Granite Master Squares, Granite Master Angles, Granite Angle Plates, Granite Parallels, & Granite Straight Edges are also available in specified grades and sizes.
Note: Please specify with order if lift holes or lift inserts are needed.
