Lapping Machine - Kemet 15

Diamond lapping is a precision machining process that uses diamond particles suspended in a slurry to remove material from a surface, resulting in an extremely flat, smooth, and polished finish. Diamond lapping is used across various industries and applications where high precision and superior surface finish are required. Diamond lapping offers several advantages, including achieving extremely flat and smooth surfaces with high precision, versatility in application across various materials such as hard metals, ceramics, and optical glass, superior surface quality with minimal defects, and efficient material removal and faster processing times due to the hardness of diamond.

The bench-mounted Kemet 15 Lapping Machine has a rigid metal construction with a height-adjustable worktable. The machine incorporates a digital Process Timer and a fully automatic Liquid Diamond Dispensing System.
