Measuring tools made of natural granite
PLANOLITH: Precision in measuring and inspection technologies and special purpose engineering
... Quality with the red dot
Granite is synonymous with unshakable strength, measuring equipment made of granite is synonymous with the highest levels of precision. Even after more than 50 years of experience with this material, it gives us new reasons to be fascinated every day.
Our quality promise: PLANOLITH measuring tools and components for special machine construction meet the highest standards for dimensional accuracy and precision.
The PLANOLITH product range includes:
- Standard measuring equipment such as measuring plates and accessories, measuring and gauge stands, measuring devices, precision bench centers etc.
- Custom-made bases made of natural granite for special purpose engineering, e.g. for laser machining, the manufacture of circuit boards and semiconductors, as well as for 3D coordinate measuring machines.
- Contract manufacturing for the grinding, drilling and lapping of workpieces made of natural granite, mineral casting, technical ceramics and cast iron.
- Assembly of linear guides for special constructions.
We deliver to customers worldwide, from industrial tool distributors to manufacturing industries in a variety of sectors. We also cooperate with technical universities and various research institutes.

Measuring, inspection, construction with granite
As a mechanical engineer, you need to measure, monitor and document your machine geometry. You need precise measuring equipment to ensure DIN / ISO 1101 defined form and geometric tolerances. Measuring equipment produced from natural granite is perfectly suited when it comes to the measurement parameters: straightness, squareness, parallelism, positional accuracy and axial accuracy.
The precision required for machines, equipment, and components is always increasing and demands an innovative and meticulous choice of materials. For this, design engineers often have to go into uncharted territory. Granite is not often considered as a material for components, sometimes it’s even rejected. This requires a change in thinking. For many traditional materials quickly show their limits.
Our identity: Precision as a guiding principle
Precision characterizes our way of thinking and our actions. We’ve worked intensively with natural granite and its processing for more than 50 years. We’ve focused all of our energy on this – resulting in a high degree of professional expertise and extensive experience.
We demand the highest quality from ourselves and from the measuring equipment and machine components we produce, all in the interests of our customers. Every employee, every machine and every step in the work process are geared toward achieving this objective.
Our company’s high level of technical expertise is proven not least by PLANOLITH’s licence as an accredited calibration laboratory in 2004 (DAkkS since 2013).
"Granite is an outstanding material for precision measuring and machining when working on the micron scale. We at PLANOLITH aim to be an outstanding partner for our customers and to meet their highest expectations of quality!"
