Polishing

The polishing allows obtaining of a mirror finish polished surface by means of 2 elements :

• The LAM PLAN ® polishing cloths or AQUA LAM ® pads

The discs, supports of polishing, are very soft (contrary to plates) and their structure allows the abrasive to penetrate more or less deeply, in order to obtain a high-quality polished surface.

The polishing cloths can be grouped in 4 categories of fabrics :

• Flocked ,
• Woven ,
• Non-woven,
• Compressed .

• The abrasive blinder

Le liant abrasif est l’élément de consommation essentiel à l’obtention des caractéristiques de polissage. L'abrasif est essentiel de par sa diversité de nature, de granulométrie et de présentation.

2 ranges of abrasive are available to you :

• LAM PLAN diamond abrasives.
• AQUA LAM conventional abrasive :
  • Aluminium oxide,
  • Silicon carbide
  • etc

Two types of polishing :

• The aspect polishing where the main control is a visual control.

• Cosmetic polishing,
• Watch-making,
• etc.

• The functional polishing defined by a precise value in surface condition: angstrom, micron and flatness with an interferometer :

• Optics,
• Electronics,
• etc.

Checking the flatness and the roughness of your parts

The flatness is measured in interference fringes. The polished surface can be defined by a roughness in :

• Ra
• micro inch
• angstrom.
