Double-Side Lapping
State of the art facilities in Leicestershire providing sub contract Lapping and Polishing Services
Double-Side Lapping Services
Double-side lapping, also known as twin-face lapping, is an advanced precision engineering process designed to simultaneously process both faces of a workpiece, ensuring exceptional dimensional control and parallelism. This technique is ideal for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and Formula 1, where the highest levels of accuracy and consistency are non-negotiable. At Lapping Services Ltd, we take pride in offering cutting-edge double-side and twin-face lapping services, underpinned by our AS9100 aerospace accreditation and unmatched expertise.
By processing both faces of a component simultaneously, double-side lapping not only delivers superior flatness and parallelism but also significantly enhances efficiency. The method ensures uniform material removal on both sides, making it a reliable choice for components that require tightly controlled tolerances and perfect surface alignment.
What Does Double Side Lapping Do?
The double-side lapping process, often referred to as twin-face lapping, involves placing the workpiece between two rotating plates coated with an abrasive slurry. The plates rotate in opposite directions, applying pressure and friction to achieve material removal on both surfaces at once. This simultaneous action guarantees unparalleled consistency and accuracy, reducing the risk of dimensional variations or warping.
Double-side lapping is particularly suited to applications where absolute precision is critical, such as sealing components, precision shims, and high-performance engine parts. Its ability to achieve micron-level tolerances and excellent surface finishes ensures that components perform reliably, even in the most demanding environments.
