Flat Lapping
Flat Lapping is the process that we use to hold tight tolerances, it can be used as a “First off” from the initial component moulding and castings; this will give a datum for more conventional machining. The lapping process can also be used for intermediate or finishing processes.
Our experienced machine operators work a comprehensive range of both single and double sided lapping machines enabling us to process a variety of materials ensuring flatness and parallelism of both faces and size variations per batch within 5 microns.
We can achieve many different finishes and can lap and fine grind a variety of materials including aluminium, stainless steel bakelite, ferrous and non ferrous metals, ceramics, glass, and rubber composites, gold, tungsten, titanium, graphite composites and sintered glass.
If you are unsure whether your material can be processed please fill out a form on our online quotations and attach any drawing or specifications for your component. Otherwise phone our enquiries team who will be interested to assist you. We offer our customers a complete package on parts that require flatness, parallelism and surface finishes to micron tolerances.
