Workholding and Workholders
Workholding is one of the most important factors when carrying out a lapping operation. The flatness of a part can be adversely affected by incorrect workholding.
Non skid pads for all machines can be supplied, together with blank workholding discs. Workholders are available for all sizes of lapping machine from 15" to 56" diameter. This is placed directly on top of the parts which have been positioned inside the conditioning ring.

Kemet Dressing Kit
Keeping lapping plates flat is essential for component flatness. Once a plate goes out of flat, it needs to be corrected as quickly as possible.
Traditional methods involved using abrasive powder and adjusting the positioning of the conditioning rings. However this procedure is slow, and plates that are greatly out of flat can take many hours to correct.
Kemet has developed the next generation of Dressing Ring for rapid correction of plates that have gone out of flat. Up to 10 times faster than conventional methods, the Kemet Dressing Ring can correct plate flatness problems in minutes rather than hours.
