Why Companies Choose Lapping: The Benefits of Ultra-Smooth and Precise Surfaces
In industries where microns make a difference and every detail affects the functionality and lifespan of a product, lapping plays a crucial role. This surface finishing technology enables the achievement of extremely precise dimensions, high flatness, and a mirror-like surface finish.
At Henron, we meet these demanding requirements with the precision and reliability appreciated by companies across various sectors.
What is Lapping and Why Does it Matter?
Lapping is a fine finishing process in which only a minimal layer of material is removed using an abrasive paste—typically in the range of just a few micrometers. Compared to traditional grinding or milling, lapping offers clear advantages:
•Surface roughness lower than Ra 0.01 μm
•Micron-level flatness
•Perfect contact between functional surfaces
For components such as valve sealing surfaces, pump parts, measurement instruments, or optical components, lapping is essential. It significantly reduces friction and wear, ultimately extending the service life of parts.
When Do Companies Use Lapping?
Lapping is especially important for businesses involved in:
• The production of precision mechanical components
• Repair and maintenance services
• The automotive, aerospace, and energy industries
•Prototype development with high precision requirements
In these cases, lapping is often the final yet critical step before the part is put into operation.
