E The Meusburger Speed Lap System
The speed lap system comprises of pads and bars for applying diamond compounds in order to obtain high surface quality while saving time.
- New composite material
- Prevents the washing out of soft constituents and the formation of built-up edges
- Higher material removal rate (compared to other lapping techniques)
- Less sensitive to pressure
- Enables consistent, scratch-free lapping
- Sturdy lapping bars
Technical information
- Preparing the lapping pads:
Before using the lapping pads for the first time, use a fine abrasive paper or diamond foil to hone them. - Preparing the lapping bars:
Adjust the lapping bars to the shape of the surface on which you are going to use them; this can be done with sanding discs, abrasive paper or files. You can use a collet to hold circular lapping bars. - Grit:
The optimum grit size is 6 μm but you can also use a coarser grain structure. If required, you can lap to 3 μm. - Lubrication:
You can use VLM 5 Cutting fluid or VLM 20 Polishing oil for thinning the diamond compound. - Pressure:
For 60–70% of this work step, apply light pressure; for the rest of the time, that is: for finishing, do not apply any pressure. - Hand-filing machine:
Speed: 4.000-7.000 min-1
Stroke length: 0.5-1.0 mm
