Used LAPMASTER 12 #9004358 for sale

LAPMASTER 12 is an advanced precision surface finishing machine designed to address the demanding grinding, lapping, and polishing requirements of today's technology for aircraft, medical, aerospace, and semiconductor industries. The machine is capable of processing work pieces with a diameter up to 12" (305mm) and a piece height up to 5" (127mm). LAPMASTER 12 is designed for precision finishing on a wide range of materials, from hard to soft materials, such as glass, aluminum, composites and various types of metals. 12 is composed of two base mainframe unit (MFU) consisting of a two speed workholding drive assembly with a lapping plate, and an adjustable lapping/polishing head group. The high capacity tabletop design allows for large part loading capabilities and higher production rates. The two speed drive allows the user to set processing speeds from very slow to very fast. The adjustable lapping head group features two separate lapping heads that can be operated independently. This provides a choice between flat lapping and reciprocating lapping. The base MFU also contains the control console which is used to set pressure, speed, and slurry feed rate. LAPMASTER 12 is equipped with an advanced slurry management equipment to reduce the need for grinding compound replenishment. The unit also boasts a fully enclosed cab containing both high-efficiency filtration and dust collection systems to help ensure a clean and safe work environment. The design also includes provisions for easy coolant circulation, thus allowing for the use of water based coolants in certain applications. To ensure precision and consistency in the finishing process, 12 offers an optional auto-timed dosing system that automatically adds precise amounts of grinding compound to the unit. This eliminates the need for manual replenishment of grinding compound, and helps to maintain consistent grinding and polishing results even with large, intricate parts. LAPMASTER 12 is a versatile, reliable, and easy to use machine designed for fast and accurate finishing of both small and large work pieces. The tool is capable of identifying part geometry and automatically selecting the most appropriate mode for grinding, lapping, or polishing. The machine is ruggedly designed for production rates of up to 100 pieces per hour and is certifiable to military and industrial standards. And thanks to its efficient cooling asset, 12 is one of the best machines for precision surface finishing.
