Technology Details

Spherical Lapping- Machine System has been developed to produce very accurate spherical surfaces on a variety of components and materials. This system can provide the output of form (sphericity) less than 0.008 mm and surface roughness value (Ra) less than 0.03 micrometer is obtained on scratch-free, mirror finish high-quality surfaces

Salient Features:

• Attachment for CNC lathe, easy to mount on VDI 30 or VDI 40 turret, Turned sphere balls are lapped, Sphere to be lapped is being held in machine spindle.
Status of Commercialization:
• Ready for Technology Transfer
Level of Development :
• Quality wise attachment can provide the
output of form (sphericity) less than 0.008
mm and surface roughness
value (Ra) less than 0.03 micrometer
Major Raw Materials to be Utilized:
• Generally cast Iron tool and for finishing
process standard felt. Process uses lapping
paste with different grades.
