Utilizing an abrasive slurry and synthetic oil, lapping machines create a uniform flat surface on machine parts by moving the parts inside rotating rings on a stationary table. The lapping process is performed by machine or hand manipulation to make a surface very flat across the entire part. The consistency of the slurry and duration of processing vary depending on desired finish. Flatness of 10 to 20 millionths of an inch can be achieved. Our talented lapping personnel can create surface finishes on parts from a 32 down to a 2 finish. The laser interferometer verifies the surface flatness using laser technology. Armstrong Technology S.V., is one of the few machining facilities that can meet challenging surface requirements.
