Lapping Machine 24 inches

This machine comes with the following standard features:

1.  Textured powder coated frame, cabinet, and work top for increased durability and better

appearance. Frame is fabricated using strudural steel tubing for strength and stability.

2.  24" serrated lapping table made from a specially formulated cast iron for long

processing life .Components as large as 9.5” (Outside Diameter) can be processed on this

machine. Materials that can be processed include Carbons, Ceramics, Standard and

Stainless Steels, Silicon Carbide,and Tungsten Carbide

3.  3 H.P. Motor (made in USA by Baldor)

4.  Heavy Duty "B" belt drive system

5.  Heavy Duty Gearbox (made in USA by Baldor - Dodge) with specifications that exceed the

requirements for the combined table weights. The axial thrust load rating is higher than

required for increased service life, and the gearbox is lubricated for life and requires no

maintenance.

6.  Variable Speed Drive Motor Controller for gradual start/stop and adjustable constant running

speeds. Allows for optimal running speeds for varying materials and the soft start/stop helps

prevent damage to the parts being processed.

7.  Run Time Meter (Hour Meter) for efficient maintenance scheduling

8.  Process Timer to control the length of the lapping operation

9.  Adjustable drip style abrasive slurry dispensing system

10.  AII electrical components and cabinets are UL approved

11.  1 year warranty on all parts

Accessories and Tool Kits

•  24" Steel Straight Edge for verifying table flatness

•  3 Work Carrier Disks

•  3 Truing/Carrier Rings ( serrated cast iron )

•  3 Sponge Pads

•  3 Pressure Plates (21Ibs. each)

The TRUELAP™ Precision 24” Flat Lapping Machine has been designed to increase the efficiency

of the lapping process and extend the life cycle of the machine while providing the customer with

a machine that is easier to use and maintain. It is assembled in the USA, and where ever possible,

uses components made in the USA . There is a 1 year warranty on any component failure due to

defects in material or workmanship .

The 3 Horsepower Motor and Heavy Duty Gear Box are both made in the USA by Baldor. Using only

Baldor products in the drive train creates a synergy that is very strong and efficient compared to using

components from different manufacturers. The gear box has a higher axial thrust load rating than the

gear boxes used by other lapping machine companies. The gear box is the only support the drive &

lapping tables have, and the total weight of the two tables is centered directly over the gear box shaft.

The ability of the gear box to provide more than the minimum required support is crucial to extending

the productive lifetime of the machine.

A standard feature on the TRUELAP™ machine is the Programable Variable Speed Drive. Other brands

have it at an additional cost, and with many brands it’s not even available. Without a Variable Speed

Drive,when the machine is started the table starts turning immediately at its full speed. This “shock”

start can make the parts being processed strike against each other and this can easily chip / scratch

the edges of the parts causing them to be unusable. Even if the parts are set into a “work carrier disk”

and are unable to make contact with each other during the lapping process, the stresses generated

by a “hard start” can be enough to cause damage to the parts faces.The Programable VFD allows

for  gradual ramp-up to speed as well as gradual ramp-down at the end of cycle.

The frame foundation of the TRUELAP™ machine is made using structural steel tubing for strength

and stability. The entire frame, cabinet, and worktop are powder coated with a specially formulated

material that is scratch resistant and more durable than standardly available commercial coatings.

Another place a specially formulated material is used is the 24” Serrated Lapping Table. It is a

special cast iron that provides a long life with superior processing capability.

All machines must be maintained properly or they will lose the ability to do what they were bought

to do. While the TRUELAP™ machine itself requires little to no general maintenance on the drive

train or the electrical components, the lapping table must be checked occasionally for flatness and

to confirm it is running true. A Run Time Meter is one way to keep track of when this needs to be

done, and is provided as a standard feature.

Being able to set a specific processing time period on a job is crucial in obtaining the desired result,

and the TRUELAP™ lapping machine provides a Processing Timer as standard equipment. The

processing time for different components will vary considerably depending on the component

material and the amount of material that must be removed. The machine operator will learn very

quickly the processing times required for their needs, and the timer can be set so when that time

is finished, the machine will automatically stop operating. This gives the operator flexibility to be

doing other things instead of having to continuously monitor the lapping process.

The abrasive slurry used on this machine is metered using a three wire Adjustable Drip

Dispensing System.

This system is used worldwide by almost all lapping machine manufacturers because it is an efficient,

simple, and inexpensive design. TRUELAP™ makes the system components using Stainless Steel for

long life. They have designed their system so that when the machine is not being operated the

abrasive slurry is released to drain back into the slurry reservoir, keeping the slurry from solidifying

in the delivery tube and blocking the flow.

All electrical components and cabinets are UL approved to assure reliable and safe operation of the

electrical system, and at the time your order is placed confirmation will be made on the required

3-phase power for your facility.

Provided with the table are all the items needed to begin lapping parts except the abrasive. There

are 3 sets of the truing / carrier rings, pressure plates, pressure pads and work carrier disks.

A 24” straight edge is included for confirming table flatness.
