Type




   Type:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Honing Machine
 
     Honing machines use small, bonded abrasive stones or superabrasive sticks mounted in a fixture that rotates and reciprocates when applied to the surface or bore being finished. Honing is used to correct the geometry and alignment of holes and to produce the surface required for the application.
 
   Lapping Machine
 
     Lapping machines generate very flat surfaces (geometry refinement) with extremely fine finishes by using loose abrasives in a carrier fluid where parts are processed between one or two large flat lap plates or platens. Compared to grinding and honing, lapping removes much less material. Finishes are measured in micron and nanometer ranges.
 
   Metallographic
 
     Devices are designed for metallographic surface preparation applications.
 
   Superfinishing
 
     Superfinishing, microhoning or microfinishing machines produce surfaces with a very fine or low roughness average (Ra).A very fine grit stone or several fine bonded stones are rubbed against the surface of the workpiece.  Superfinishing is similar to honing, but finer or lower Ra finish is produced with limited stock removal. Superfinishing can not correct geometry to the same degree as honing.  
 
   Wafer Planarization / CMP
 
     Devices are designed for wafer planarization or chemical- mechanical polishing (CMP).
 
   Specialty / Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialty or proprietary types of devices such as scarifiers, power files, scrapers, extrusion or flow honing, thermal deburring or stripping, and wafer thinning or backgrinding equipment.

Automation & Features




   Automation:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   None / Manual
 
     Devices require manual loading and then manual setup and operation. Users must change abrasive products and adjust machine parameters such as speed, applied load, and coolant/lubricant flow. The user interface may include push buttons, foot switches, pendants, a touchscreen, or a graphical user interface (GUI).
 
   Automatic / Indexing
 
     Devices load parts automatically and can be operated without user intervention. Machines change or adjust abrasive product, workpiece and other parameters such as speed, applied load or coolant/lubricant flow rate in a pre-programmed manner.  They also index the cut depth or position to achieve the required material removal, geometry and/or surface finish.
 
   CNC
 
     Devices include automated computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools. These can be as simple as point-to-point linear controls or able to perform highly complex algorithms that involve multiple axes of control. CNC controllers use a programming language called G-code that is downloaded from the controller to operate the machine. M-code is a standard set of machine tool codes that are normally used to switch on the spindle, coolant or auxiliary devices.
 
   PLC
 
     Devices include a programmable logic controller (PLC) for programming and controlling a sequence of machine operations.
 
   Windows® / PC Control
 
     Devices are controlled or programmed through a personal computer (PC) interface that uses an operating system such as Microsoft® Windows®. Machines change or adjust grinding wheel or abrasive product, workpiece or other parameters such as speed, applied load or coolant/lubricant flow rate in a pre-programmed manner. Both Microsoft and Windows are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary automation and material handling technologies.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
