Of course all the tools are being transformed by the typical phenomenon of wear, but lapping-tools offered by Animex are expandable to optimize the lapping process (and compensate wear). Built in two parts, the lap increases its size by the action of an inner cone. Mounted on a micrometric screw (accurate to micron therefore), this 2% cone allows to enlarge the lap diameter with a step of the size of two hundredths of a micron (0,00002 mm). But it is not only this incredible accuracy that (…)
