PELCO precision lapping fixtures and mounts

Precision hand lapping fixtures allow for the preparation of planar, parallel, and highly polished surfaces on metallographic specimens, single-crystal wafers, electronic materials, glasses, or other materials.Lapping processes are also used to generate highly parallel, smooth faces, and to thin specimens to a precise target thickness. This is particularly useful in hand polishing semiconductors, optical components, and for thinning TEM specimens before finishing via dimple polishing.PELCO lapping fixtures allow for lapping of samples from <3mm to 25mm in diameter, and up to 13mm thick. Micrometer and shim-controlled versions are available. Fixtures are equipped with tungsten carbide feet, which are highly resistant to wear from the lapping process.

Product	Description
PEL14100	PELCO 14100 Shimmed Lapping Fixture This fixture has a magnetic sample mount and uses shims to set sample thickness. It can accommodate samples 0.5" (13mm) in diameter and is supplied with shims from 0.0010" to 0.0222" (0.025 to 0.508mm) in thickness. The sample mount is magnetically held to the fixture, allowing easy inspection and removal of specimens. The diameter of the fixture base is 1.1875" (48mm). This fixture is ideal for routine disc grinding before Dimpling TEM samples.
PEL14500	PELCO 14500 Micrometer-controlled Lapping Fixture, 0.5" This fixture is micrometer-controlled and marked in 25 micron increments. It can accommodate samples up to 0.5" (13mm) in diameter, and 0.5" (13mm) in height. The sample mount is threaded and easily removable for wax or adhesive mounting. The carbide foot is replaceable and the diameter of the fixture base is 1.5" (38mm). Additional sample mounts and pin stub mounts are available.
PEL15000	PELCO 15000 Micrometer-controlled Lapping Fixture, 1" This fixture is micrometer-controlled and marked in 25 micron increments. It can accommodate samples up to 1" (25mm) in diameter and 0.5" (13mm) tall. The sample mount is easily removable for wax or adhesive mounting. The removable guide can be used for directional polishing, and can double as a rest to prevent the fixture from rolling when placed on the bench. The carbide foot is replaceable and the diameter of the fixture base is 2.7" (68.6mm).
PEL77500	PELCO 77500 Micrometer-controlled Digital Vacuum Lapping Fixture, 2" This fixture combines micrometer control with a high-precision digital micrometer readout. The setpoint micrometer is marked in 25 micron increments and the digital micrometer allows precise process control to ~1 micron. Samples may be wax mounted, or held by vacuum pressure applied via the freely rotating vacuum attachment. It can accommodate samples up to 2" (50mm) in diameter and 0.5" (13mm) tall. The sample mounts are easily removable. The tungsten carbide foot is replaceable and the diameter of the fixture base is 4.0" (102mm).
