NEW LAM® M’M’ plates
25 years ago, LAM PLAN designed the patented NEW LAM® M’M’ poli-lapping system. Since then LAM PLAN has constantly made its process evolve to respond to the technical requirements of its customers. The system patented and established in production plants throughout the world is today a must in the lapping polishing process.
The NEW LAM® M’M’plate, uses free diamond abrasives for its operation. As soon as the plate starts rotating, under the effect of the initial weight of the parts and the load applied by the machine’s jacks, the diamond grains move and fix on the surface of the plate producing a unique abrasive action on the side of the parts to be lapped.
The patent:
The disposition and the shape of the two components of the plate permit an optimum alternation between the hard areas and the soft areas. The cut angle of the diamond grains is permanently changed, which ensures a large stock removal and a perfect inherent flatness.

EVOLAM® composite plates
A plate for 3 steps
The new EVOLAM® ULTIMATE and EVOLAM® CLASSIC lapping plates have been specially developed for hard materials such as sapphire and technical ceramics. The specific composition of these plates gives them an excellent stock removal combined with a low roughness. A poly-lapping operation with our EVOLAM® plates allows to obtain the superfinishing stage in only one step.
A C or H groove is generally made on EVOLAM® plates to increase their performance.

Temperature control system
Flat lapping is based on the laws of mechanics and physics where a constant temperature is essential.
Temperature variations of a lapping plate, whether inherent in the lapping process or dependent on external conditions, can be detrimental to the quality of the desired result. To avoid such damage, the use of our plates at high yield NEW LAM M’M’ requires the use of a temperature control system.
COMPOSITE LAM PLAN plates with an integrated cooling system ensure temperature fluctuation control during series production. This option enables avoidance of plate distortion and consequently, distortion of your pieces.
P803 regulator
To control the flatness of the trays, the temperature must be controlled.
To control plate flatness, temperature must be regulated. The LAM PLAN P803 temperature regulation unit is reversable. It can also raise the plate temperature before use. This enables lapping to start in optimum geometric conditions in any work environment.
The P803 regulator is designed to maintain the temperature between 2 set values. It is an autonomous machine which has its own command interface.
NEW LAM M’M’ plate with temperature regulation system
The LAM PLAN cooling system captures calories directly under the active plate surface. It is adaptable for all machines.
