Surface Finishing Machine for Planar Lapping and Polishing


Release time:

2026-11-05

The Surface Finishing Machine from Dongguan Jichuan Chemical is a single-side planar lapping and polishing machine for flat workpieces. It is listed under surface treatment equipment and is designed to remove machining traces, burrs and surface defects from metal, ceramic, silicon wafer and optical glass parts. The machine uses relative motion between the workpiece and a precision grinding plate to produce a flat, smooth surface.

How the Lapping Action Works

In a single-side planar lapping machine, the workpiece is held against a rotating grinding plate while a swing mechanism moves it across the plate. The combination of rotation and swing gives a uniform material removal pattern instead of a series of concentric marks. The result is a flatter surface with a more consistent finish across the whole part, which is important for batch production.

The machine is described as different from an ordinary surface grinder because it uses low surface stress and avoids workpiece burn. That makes it suitable for thin, easily deformed and brittle parts that would be difficult to hold on a conventional grinder. The processing effects listed on the page include deburring, removal of tool marks and oxidation, improved parallelism and flatness, and a semi-mirror or mirror finish.

Machine Configuration

The control system is a PLC with a colour touch screen. The drive uses two independent VFD motors, one for the grinding plate and one for the swing mechanism, so the rotation and swing speeds can be set separately and run forward or reverse. The working method is single-side planar pendulum lapping, the grinding plate is a high-precision cast iron disc, and the auxiliary system is an automatic circulating grinding liquid supply unit.

The page also lists a stainless steel worktable that can be raised manually, a self-priming liquid addition and stirring system, automatic stirring and dripping devices, and a fully enclosed body with stainless steel parts in the liquid contact area. These details matter in a production environment because they affect cleaning, maintenance and the stability of the process over a long shift.

Materials and Workpieces

The machine is listed for metal materials such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper, tungsten steel, hard alloy, bearing steel and titanium alloy. For non-metal hard materials, it covers alumina ceramic, zirconia ceramic, silicon wafer, sapphire, optical glass and graphite. Typical components include sealing parts, piston rings, cutting tools, gauge blocks, bearing accessories, new energy structural parts and semiconductor components.

That material range is wide, so the grinding disc and the abrasive should be matched to the workpiece. A hard ceramic and a soft aluminum alloy need different abrasives and different pressure settings. The machine allows the disc and the abrasive to be changed, and the process can move from rough grinding to fine grinding and then to mirror polishing in separate steps.

Custom Fixtures and Sample Testing

Jichuan offers custom fixtures based on the workpiece size and the processing requirement. A buyer can send a drawing or a sample, and the company offers a free processing test to verify the surface finish before a formal order. That test is useful because the right process depends on the material, the starting surface and the target finish, not only on the machine specification.

The machine is used in precision machinery, semiconductor, new energy, optical and aerospace industries. Jichuan also lists chemical cleaning, grinding and polishing consumables, surface protection, machining and water treatment products, so a buyer can source the machine and the consumable together. That can simplify the process development and the repeat order.

For a quotation on the Surface Finishing Machine, send the workpiece material, the size, the starting surface, the target flatness and finish, and the expected batch size to zhengjiping@jichuan-chemical.com or +8613631798281. The Jichuan team can recommend the machine configuration, the fixture and the consumable, and arrange a sample test before the order.
