Work Holding, Foam Tape & Non-slip Material

For continuous lapping of the same range of parts, it makes sense to have sets of profiled workholders. A full range of blank workholders 3mm or 6mm thick are available. We can also supply pre-profiled workholders on request.

Other sizes available upon request.

On complicated parts, special workholding fixtures may be required. When producing such fixtures, the following points should be borne in mind:

1. The weight of the fixture should be balanced when holding the parts.
2. Ideally, three or more parts should be held in the fixture.
3. Often height setting blocks are helpful when assembling parts into the fixture.
4. When holding round or similar shapes where the end face is to be lapped, use a 'V' type location rather than a hole in a block.
5. The fixture should be a loose fit within the conditioning ring so it is free floating on the Lapping Plate.

Other sizes available upon request.

Kemfix mounting film is used to fix parts for single side grinding, lapping and polishing processes on mounting plates. It is compatible with glass, ceramic and metal base plates and nearly all types of substrates. The film itself has a precise homogeneous thickness with a thickness tolerance of only about ± 1µm.

This enables you to produce very parallel parts, cut down the waxing error and have a stable process. Kemfix has pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) on both sides to mount the parts securely on the base plate. Also very delicate polished faces are protected from any scratching. After processing, the adhesive is deactivated simply by heat.

The parts can be picked up from the tape easily without residues from the adhesive. No special cleaning with ethanol or acetone is necessary like in common wax fixtures. Kemfix is also free from silicone and metals keeping your part surfaces in clean condition for subsequent coating and evaporation steps.
