Kemet® Lapping Machines and Materials in Action

There’s plenty of talk about precision. We’d rather show you, What Our Lapping and Polishing Technology Can Really Do. On our video page, you can see the equipment and materials in action during the rigors of everyday workshop life—real-world examples of flat lapping and polishing.

Lapping: Because every last micrometer counts.

You’ve probably encountered this before: A component is almost perfect, but the sealing surface doesn’t seal 100% or there’s a slight amount of play in the fit. It’s precisely for these situations where When the highest precision and flatness are required, lapping is the method of choice.

In this process, material is selectively removed using loose lapping grit—such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide—in a liquid or paste. Our robust Kemet® polishing machines are perfect for this type of machine lapping. They reliably produce perfectly flat surfaces on almost any material —from metal and ceramics to glass and plastic.

However, the Kemet® systems are not just lapping machines. Thanks to the simple Switching from a lapping wheel to a polishing pad Transform your machine into a full-fledged polishing machine. So you only need one system for two crucial steps—which saves space in the workshop and is easy on your budget. That’s what smart work with the piggy banks looks like!

How easy it is to perform lapping with Kemet® products:

Polishing gives your workpiece the final touch for a flawless, reflective surface. With our systems and the right polishing compounds, this task is completed in just a few steps—leaving you more time for other tasks or a quick break.

1. Preparation & Loading

The cleaned workpiece is placed on the lapping wheel set. Then enter the appropriate Lapping compound (e.g., diamond paste or lapping oil) to it.

2. The lapping process

The machine starts up. As the wheel rotates, the lapping grains roll and glide between the workpiece and the wheel. This process removes material extremely evenlyuntil the desired flatness and surface finish are achieved.

3. Check & Process Further

Check the result and see a perfectly lapped surface. It is the ideal base for a subsequent high-gloss polish.

Good advice pays off.

Our goal isn’t just to sell you any machine. We want you to get the right and most cost-effective solution for your workshop —one that will pay off for you.

Talk to us before you invest. The piggy banks will help you make a decision that will benefit you well into the future—we promise.
