State of the art facilities in Leicestershire providing sub contract Lapping and Polishing Services
Polishing Services
Polishing is a critical process in precision engineering, enhancing surface finishes to improve performance, durability, and functionality. At Lapping Services Ltd, we specialise in delivering high-quality polishing solutions tailored to the demanding requirements of industries such as aerospace, automotive, Formula 1, and beyond.
Polishing is essential for applications where surface interactions—such as friction, wear, and lubrication—play a pivotal role. By refining surfaces to an exceptionally smooth finish, our polishing process reduces friction, minimises wear, and optimises the tribological performance of components. Whether it’s reducing energy loss in high-speed racing or ensuring the longevity of aerospace parts, our polishing services are designed to deliver results you can rely on.
What Does Polishing Involve?
Polishing involves the meticulous removal of surface imperfections, such as scratches or machining marks, using fine abrasives and controlled processes. This ensures that every component achieves the desired finish while maintaining its dimensional integrity. For industries where surface interactions are crucial—such as bearings, seals, or components in lubrication systems—our polishing services provide the ideal solution to optimise performance.
At Lapping Services, we understand the importance of tailoring polishing processes to your specific needs. Our state-of-the-art equipment and experienced technicians ensure that every piece meets the most rigorous standards of surface quality and precision. With our aerospace accreditation and decades of expertise, we are committed to delivering the highest level of service and results.
