Fully Automatic High Precision Stone Lapping Machine for a Single Ball

Standard Machinable Range : 30 - 55
(Special toolings are required for sizes of20 - 30, 55 - 76.2.)

BL-50C PATENTED

Main Features

  • It previously took long time for large-size ball machining with lot-based production (batches of balls), but this machine enables single large-size ball machining one-by-one in a short time, from rough to high-precision finishing
  • Provides great cost performance for production of small quantities with a variety of sizes
  • Ball rotation is continuously controlled by the drive rollers directly connected to the servomotors. A cup-shape grindstone provides uniform contact over the whole surface of the ball (Patent No. 5295307).
  • This machine is capable of performing processes from rough machining to stone lapping in three to five processes; one process takes anywhere from a few minutes to more than 10 minutes
  • Flushing of the band-shaped protrusions that occur during the production of ceramic and steel balls can be performed easily by attaching a dedicated attachment to the lower support and switching the roller rotation program

Work piece: Ceramic ball
