was another challenge: Transporting the plate without
damage over 550 miles (883 km), parts of the journey
over mountainous sections, was coordinated and
achieved with the same precision for which GMT is
known for its products. The truck reached the customer’s
site in record time. The plate was mounted on vibration
dampers and commissioned at the customer’s site
4: Loading the onto the truck, with 4 Cranes working in
tandem
within the factory. It was finished in the open air. Once rough
finishing was completed, a temperature-controlled room was
built around it to finish and inspect it.

“This was a huge achievement for us, experience in the
production of metrology equipment over five decades
has helped us in this project” explained Jayashree
S.Mani, Vice Chairperson and mentor of GMT. “The fact
that we were able to achieve plate flatness of 50 micron
and T-Slot straightness of 10 microns per meter, speaks
volumes for our expertise. We are confident to take on
such projects with all the QC challenges involved in producing
metrology products for inspection of large components, to
meet the needs of especially the marine, automobile and
other industries requiring very special precision dimensional
measurements.
