Kemet Lapping Plates

Kemet composite lapping plates are manufactured from a homogeneous mixture of synthetic resins, metal particles and other materials. The plates are ideal for today's advanced lapping technology, especially when used with Kemet Liquid Diamond.

Standard Kemet Lapping Plates are normally supplied mounted on a cast iron backing plate for maximum stability. They are recommended for general and heavy-duty work where high precision flatness and surface finish are required.

We offer a part exchange service for all worn kemet Lapping plates

Features

• Holds diamond particles firmly, ensuring both efficient stock removal and repetitive component surface finish.
• Ductile qualities cushion the diamond particles, preventing damage to the workpiece.
• Produced in varying hardness values so that even the softest material can, without impregnation, be safely lapped with diamond particles.
• Dissipates heat and prevents laminar flow of lapped surfaces
• Easy control for optimum flatness
• Lapping/polishing plates available to fit all makes of lapping machines with plate diameters up to 3000mm
• Supplied with a cast iron backing plate for maximum stability.

Kemet Iron Lapping Plates

The most commonly used lapping plate. For general purpose stock removal and lapping applications. Excellent for stock removal and pre-polishing operations

Kemet XP Lapping Plates

Gives improved flat polished surfaces on many materials. Mirror surfaces can often be produced on harder materials.

Kemet Copper Lapping Plates

Used to lap softer materials where fine lapping and polishing are the primary requirements.

Kemet Tin Lapping Plates

One of the softest Kemet lapping plates used for mirror polishing with fine grades of Kemet Liquid Diamond.

Kemet Ceramic Lapping Plates

One of the hardest Kemet Lapping Plates. Used for special applications often where a cleaner lapping process is required.

We offer a relapping service for Kemet plates that are worn out of flatness.

Kemet FP Plates

A replacement for the Kemet Lead/Tin Plate, the Kemet FP Plate gives good stock removal, whilst producing high quality surface finish and flatness with Kemet Diamond Slurry.
