Read on to learn more about our precision machining services and their specifics!
High Precision Lapping Services
Within the manufacturing world, high precision lapping is a vital process that creates your desired specifications for flatness, parallelism, and surface finish. Our high precision lapping services utilize specialized machinery and techniques to achieve the specific tolerances needed for your project.
High precision lapping is a process that utilizes abrasive materials to remove stock from a surface. Other processes like sanding and grinding are similar to high precision grinding, but they use fixed abrasives compared to suspended abrasives in a liquid carrier for high precision lapping. These abrasives are free to move around within the carrier, which allows for greater control and precision in achieving desired surface finishes.
At Abrading Methods Inc., we utilize specialized equipment and processes for our high precision lapping services. We create flat and parallel surfaces from thousandths all the way to millionths of an inch, and with affordable prices and quick turnaround times, we’re the go-to source for precision lapping services.
Grinding and Honing Services
We also offer a wide range of grinding and honing services for various surface finish needs, including flat honing. Flat honing is one of several grinding and honing services that we used with specialized abrasive surfaces to achieve enhanced finish precision.
Flat honing allows for startlingly precise tolerances, which means it’s used across a wide range of industries:
- Metal injection molding: Flat honing is useful for final-stage work on intricate metal parts, necessary before they can be used in actual applications.
- Powdered metal: Powdered metal parts can be much more exact if honing is used to further refine the finish.
- Seals: Flat honing services are often essential to create the right surface finish on rubber seals.
- Valve components: Flat honing is heavily utilized in enhancing valve components, and the process can lead to substantial improvement in their overall functionality.
- Carbides and cutting inserts: Flat honing can be very helpful in aiding the final production of certain types of cutting inserts, especially when two sides must be ground to match precisely.
- Precision piston rings: Correct flatness and end finish are crucial in the production of precision piston rings. Flat honing can provide these necessary finishes.
- Automotive sensing devices: Flat honing is used to create the required surface finish on sensors for various automotive components.
- Hydraulic gear pump components: Proper finish and flatness are essential for hydraulic gear pump components, and flat honing is a crucial part of the manufacturing process.
