Lapping
Lapping machines are a type of precision finishing machine used to create truly flat surfaces, normally up to 0.001mm, with surface finishes of better than Ra.01. Overall, lapping produces extreme dimensional accuracy, corrects minor imperfections of shape, refines surface finish, and produces close fit between mating surfaces.
Lapping is ideal when absolute flatness, parallelism, or fine surface finish is needed. This loose abrasive process easily handles irregular or non-magnetic parts, removes stock quickly without clamping, heat distortion, or costly tooling, and requires minimal maintenance. It lowers inspection and production costs and works well for both small batches and high-volume runs.
