Double Sided Lapping & Polishing Machines for Precise Control

  • Computerized programming - 'Unlimited' 14-step recipes handle any application.
  • Precision Removal System for Symmetrical or *Asymmetrical material removal.
  • Three independent velocity servomotor-drives for quiet, smooth operation.
  • Accurate lap force control - run as low as ~150 pounds (65 Kg) on fragile parts. Control allows exact load desired.
  • Automatic plate flattening through processor-controlled speed modes.
  • Soft start, soft stop and load ramping control gently handles fragile parts.
  • Multi-step programming "tops off" thicker parts at lighter pressure for less thickness variation between individual parts.
  • Touch-Screen Input through a WindowsXPTM PC system allows unlimited storage of recipes, access to online information, machine manual, technical information, maintenance videos, etc.
  • A separate embedded machine controller transfers control program to its flash memory, leaving the PC free to monitor process or review online information.

Precise Pressure Control

  • Precision servomotor drive coupled with ball-screw obsoletes air cylinders for top plate support and lap force control.
  • Programmable transition point from fast down to float down for parts of different thickness.
  • At end of run, servomotor drive controls vertical travel of top plate to zero load WITHOUT lifting off parts, keeping parts in their workholes.

ServoRS Mark-IV for very large D/S Parts

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

  • Designed to accommmodate very large size workpieces.
    (30" [760mm] diameter -or- 21"x21" [533mm x 533mm] square)
  • Small machine footprint for workpiece size.
    (more than 50% larger part-circle than our Model 5400 with identical footprint)
  • Adjustable for various size carriers.
    (28-inch [710mm+] 120ST is standard, adjusts to accept 32-inch [810mm+] 136ST)
  • Carrier size can be 'customized' for maximum process efficiency without machine modification.

  • Counter-rotating top and bottom plates for fastest material removal.
  • Top and bottom plates are supported by full thickness sub-plates for maximum rigidity and precision.
  • Built with proven 'rugged' industrial drives and brushless-DC servomotors for continuous 24/7 operation.

Speed & Load Ramping

  • Programmable soft start speed control prevents jolts to fragile parts, greatly reducing edge chipping.
  • Precision load ramping is gentle with fragile parts. Provides a "light touch" to thicker parts in a load, resulting in lower thickness variation.
  • Soft stop sequencing provides top plate "spin-off" to reduce or eliminate parts remaining adhered to the top plate.
