Why Choose Lapping Services? Your Partner in Precision, Quality, and Value

In the world of engineering, where precision and quality are paramount, finding a reliable partner to meet stringent requirements is invaluable. At Lapping Services, we’ve built a reputation that stretches over two decades, with many of our customers placing their trust in us for over 20 years. Here’s why Lapping Services stands out as the go-to choice for top-quality surface finishing.

1. AS9100 Quality Assurance: Consistent and Reliable Quality

Quality is the foundation of everything we do. Lapping Services is proud to operate under the AS9100 quality management system, recognised globally in aerospace and other high-stakes industries. This certification underscores our commitment to upholding the highest standards, not only in precision and accuracy but also in the consistency of our processes. With AS9100, our clients can be confident they’re receiving work of the utmost reliability and traceability—a crucial factor when delivering complex components with zero margin for error.

2. Precision for the Toughest Materials: Non-Magnetic and Non-Ferrous

Handling a variety of materials, particularly non-magnetic and non-ferrous ones, poses unique challenges. Titanium, for instance, with its non-magnetic properties, is notoriously tricky to work with due to issues in work-holding and maintaining accuracy—especially with thin materials. However, at Lapping Services, we’ve perfected the techniques necessary to overcome these obstacles. Our expertise and specialised equipment allow us to tackle these challenges head-on, ensuring we deliver the precision our clients demand, regardless of material limitations.

Precision isn’t just a buzzword at Lapping Services; it’s a guarantee. Our capability to achieve sub-micron flatness over workpieces up to 500mm in diameter demonstrates our commitment to meticulous accuracy. Leveraging advanced equipment like our Speedfam 20B, purpose-built for handling 20-inch workpieces, our team delivers surfaces that meet exacting standards in industries where even the slightest deviation can impact performance and safety. Our experience ensures that clients receive components with unparalleled flatness, enhancing the performance of their own products.

Reliability is at the heart of our customer relationships. We’ve consistently met delivery and quality targets over 99.8%, achieving “right first time” results that give our clients peace of mind. Our clients know they can rely on us to deliver components that meet their exact specifications, on time and every time. This exceptional success rate reflects the rigour of our processes and our team’s dedication to delivering on every commitment we make.
