AP3 has the capability of grinding and polishing substrates up to eight inches in diameter, to extremely fine flatness, traveling beyond the traditional boundaries of lapping, grinding and polishing. ALLIED HIGH TECH PRODUCTS AP3 is easy to use with intuitive controls and touchscreen display, allowing the user to monitor the process and make necessary adjustments on the fly. The grinding process is one of the most important steps in the lapping and polishing process, with the grinding wheel shape and size important in determining the shape and finish of the substrate. By utilizing a different grinding wheel on AP3 the user can obtain the desired results and achieve the correct shape and finish. The lapping process of ALLIED HIGH TECH PRODUCTS AP3 is characterized by the materials used for plates, compounds and colloidal silica, along with elastomeric lifters and ceramic or diamond slurry. The plate, or substrate, is placed in between two flat plates and is stroked back and forth as the material is polished from the opposing surface. The process takes place in an enclosed chamber and is monitored to ensure the even removal of material. The polishing step on AP3 is an adaptation of the grinding and lapping processes and involves a felted buffing wheel. This process can be used to obtain higher quality finishes on any type of substrate. The felted buffing wheel helps eliminate any visible surface damage caused by the grinding and lapping processes. ALLIED HIGH TECH PRODUCTS AP3 is a versatile and powerful tool that allows the user to achieve high precision and quality results. With its intuitive interface and grinding, lapping and polishing capabilities, AP3 is the perfect tool for any substrate processing job.
