SERVO RS Series

In 1990, PR Hoffman introduced the Servo-RS Model 1500, the first machine in its new Servo RS™ series. The design of this machine series drew from over 50 years of experience with developing and building double-side planetary lapping and polishing machines. In the following years, we have expanded and refined the family of Servo RS Machines to include the model 1900, 3100, 5400, 6600, and 7600 double-side machines, which feature nine carrier work holder sizes that range from 2.5” (64mm) to 27.7”(703.6mm) in diameter.  In addition we have our SSP-619 single-side polisher for work pieces up to 18”(450mm).

The base machine designs in the Servo RS™ series all employ a fixed bottom plate, independently programmable rotating top plate, center gear, and ring gear, and precise, servo-controlled down force control. We also offer a counter-rotating 4-way machine design option on the 1900 and 3100 models. All machine motions incorporate advanced drive technologies for precise control and high efficiency.

All PR Hoffman machines utilize a common motion controller and Windows PC-based software with touchscreen interface. They offer a range of optional features as well as design customization in order to address individual needs of customers.
