M12A & M16A lapping machines

The M12A/M16A  machines are self-contained units, intended for the precision lapping of flat surfaces on a wide variety of materials ranging from carbon and plastics to very hard tungsten carbide.Once the machine is loaded and set in motion the process is automated and electronically timed.The lapping machines have 406mm (16”) diameter lapping plates and will accept work pieces up to 114mm (4.5”) diameter, which are carried in each of three control rings on the anti-clockwise rotating lapping plate.All lapping plates and control rings are made of close grained high quality cast iron, the flatness of which is controlled accurately during the operation of the machine.Lapping compound is a mixture of lapping fluid and abrasive powder, supplied separately and mixed in the pump tank and pumped onto the lapping plate using a flow adjuster.Waste compound drains into a removable waste tank.
