Lapping Machine Shibang-600/600D

The Shibang-600/600D Lapping Machine represents a new era of precision engineering and efficiency in surface finishing applications. Specially designed for industries requiring ultra-fine polishing, smoothing, and lapping of components, this machine delivers consistent, high-quality results with minimal manual intervention. Whether you are operating in the watchmaking, aerospace, electronics, semiconductor, automotive, or optical industries, the Shibang-600/600D ensures your parts achieve superior surface accuracy and finishing standards.

Precision Beyond Comparison

At the heart of the Shibang-600/600D is its ability to provide ultra-precise material removal. The machine is capable of achieving surface flatness and finishes in the sub-micron range. This level of detail is made possible through its rigid structure, advanced motion control, and a design philosophy focused on eliminating vibrations and inconsistencies. The lapping plate operates on a stable platform, reducing any margin for error, ensuring that each workpiece maintains uniformity across large production runs. The dual model design—600 and 600D—offers flexibility. The standard 600 model is ideal for single-sided lapping applications, while the 600D variant includes a double-sided lapping configuration, catering to more complex surface finishing needs where both sides of the component need simultaneous attention.

Advanced Control Systems

The Shibang-600/600D is equipped with an intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI) touchscreen panel that facilitates easy setup and parameter adjustment. The user-friendly interface allows operators to control plate speed, pressure, lapping time, and slurry distribution with precision. Fully programmable recipes allow for repeatable operations, critical for industries where consistency and traceability are paramount. By using pre-set programs, downtime between production batches is significantly reduced, and human error is minimized. The smart control system also alerts the operator to any abnormalities, such as excessive vibration or uneven wear, making preventive maintenance simpler and more efficient.

High-Efficiency Lapping Plate System

A core feature of the Shibang-600/600D is its high-efficiency lapping plate system. Designed from wear-resistant materials such as cast iron or specially coated alloys, the plate maintains flatness over extended periods of operation. This reduces the frequency of reconditioning and enhances machine uptime. For the 600D double-sided model, both upper and lower plates are independently driven and pressure-controlled, allowing for perfect alignment and uniform material removal on both sides. The machine’s alignment system ensures minimal runout, helping preserve delicate parts without edge rounding or distortion. Additionally, interchangeable plates make it easy to switch between materials and applications, improving workflow flexibility and reducing setup times.

Superior Slurry Management

An often overlooked but crucial aspect of lapping is slurry management. The Shibang-600/600D comes with a highly efficient slurry delivery and filtration system. The intelligent delivery system ensures that the abrasive slurry is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the lapping plate. Variable-speed pumps, integrated into the design, maintain a consistent flow, eliminating dry spots or excessive accumulation that could compromise the finish. The filtration system extends slurry life by removing debris and contaminants, reducing operating costs, and minimizing environmental waste. For industries with strict regulations on waste management, this feature offers an edge in compliance and sustainability.

Productivity and Output Capacity

Time is a critical factor in any production environment. The Shibang-600/600D is designed to reduce cycle times without compromising quality. High-speed lapping, coupled with adjustable downforce and optimized plate rotation, means the machine can finish more parts in less time. Whether handling small lots or mass production, the 600/600D delivers productivity that meets commercial demand. Operators can expect consistent output with a capacity of handling multiple workpieces simultaneously, depending on the size and type of component. Customizable workpiece holders and fixtures allow the machine to handle a wide variety of shapes and materials, ranging from soft metals and ceramics to hard alloys and silicon wafers.

Material Versatility

One of the biggest advantages of the Shibang-600/600D is its adaptability to various materials and component geometries. From achieving optical-grade finishes on glass to processing high-hardness metals like tungsten carbide or Inconel, this machine is a true multi-material platform. In addition to standard lapping applications, the machine can also be adapted for fine polishing tasks. By adjusting the slurry composition and pressure settings, users can transition from lapping to polishing operations with minimal downtime. This eliminates the need for multiple machines on the shop floor, reducing space requirements and operational complexity.

Build Quality and Structural Integrity

Crafted with industrial-grade materials and engineered with precision, the Shibang-600/600D features a rigid cast-iron base and reinforced steel frame to eliminate vibration and distortion during operation. This rugged construction not only contributes to exceptional finish quality but also enhances durability, making the machine suitable for continuous use in demanding industrial environments. All moving parts are housed in sealed, dust-resistant enclosures, protecting them from abrasive particles and extending their service life. Key mechanical components are precisely machined and dynamically balanced to prevent wear and tear, ensuring that your investment in the machine translates into long-term productivity.

Ease of Maintenance

Maintenance downtime can be costly. The Shibang-600/600D incorporates a modular design that makes routine maintenance tasks straightforward and quick. Access points for lubrication, part replacement, and cleaning are marked and easily reachable. The machine's onboard diagnostics system tracks usage statistics and provides maintenance alerts, ensuring preventive service is performed before any issue impacts performance. These features reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns and maintain consistent throughput across operations. The slurry management system also requires minimal intervention due to its self-cleaning filter design. Filter replacement is a simple plug-and-play process, further reducing downtime and operator burden.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

Operating costs are a critical concern in any manufacturing setup. The Shibang-600/600D is engineered for energy-efficient operation. From its energy-saving motor design to smart control over slurry pumps and plate speed, every component is optimized to minimize power consumption without compromising performance. The machine also offers consumable efficiency. With uniform slurry distribution and controlled material removal, abrasive usage is optimized. Less abrasiveness means reduced operational costs and lower inventory requirements. Furthermore, the machine’s durability ensures fewer replacement parts, lowering long-term ownership costs.

Automation Ready

In an era of Industry 4.0, the Shibang-600/600D does not fall behind. It comes pre-equipped with automation-friendly features such as integration ports for robotic arms, conveyors, and smart factory interfaces. With optional IoT functionality, users can collect real-time data on machine status, productivity, and process parameters. This data can be analyzed to identify bottlenecks, schedule predictive maintenance, and improve process consistency. Remote monitoring capability also enables managers to track performance and productivity even off-site, adding an extra layer of control and convenience.

Safety and Compliance

Operator safety is paramount. The Shibang-600/600D is equipped with numerous safety features, including emergency stop systems, overload protection, and safety interlocks that prevent accidental operation during maintenance. Transparent shielding around the work area provides visibility while protecting users from splashes and moving parts. The machine complies with international safety standards, including CE, ISO, and applicable regional certifications.
