Operating Procedures

The Logitech PM5 Precision Lapping and Polishing Machine is a bench-top R&D scale system that yields reproducible results with the flexibility of working with many different materials.  It is controlled through a joystick interface with an LCD screen display.  It has an integral abrasive autofeed system and automatic lapping plate flatness control.  The SMIF system includes the PP5 Precision Lapping and Polishing Jig which is used to hold samples of widely varied shape while they are polished.  This jig allows precise control of the orientation of the sample to the polishing plane and fine adjustment of the load applied to the sample during polishing.  It includes a thickness removal indicator and vacuum chuck.
