Produces a mirror polish, holds geometry and can correct failures while maintaining roundness down to 2 microns - the whole process taking less than 9 minutes. The system can be used on most materials including ceramic, natural metals and alloyed metals. Applications include: Prosthetic Devices such as Hip joints and Cups, Bearing Manufacture, Valve assemblies, Pump Components.

Match lapping Machine

Provides an automated method to match lap two valve or similar parts together. The parts can have curved or flat surfaces and can be of similar or different materials.

Portable Hand Lapping Kits

Hand lapping uses the same principles as machine lapping with respect to abrasive grade, plate selection & plate flatness. The Portable Lapping Kits are suited for on-site refurbishment and processing components such as valves and seals.

Flat Lapping Training

Tailor-made training courses are delivered regularly in our Technical Centre or at customers' premises. The course covers a mixture of theory and practical, but mainly "hands-on" experience.
