Double-side surface finishing machines with rotating plates are designed for production of high accuracy Plano and Parallel surfaces on large, medium and small sized components. TPM Series double-side machines are designed for a range of uses from laboratory to mass production applications. This technology is optimally suited for performance over a broad range of geometries, physical properties, and for high accuracy, tight tolerance of flatness, parallelism, size tolerance and surface finish, etc. TPM Series technology is adaptable to a very wide range of applications, such as: precision Optics – visible, infrared, laser materials; semiconductor and reclaim wafers, compound semiconductor materials; crystals, glass, ceramics, sintered materials, metals just to name a few. Also, Ideal support for a broad range of industries such as - military and defense, avionic and space, scientific, medical, automotive, and luxury watch fabrication. Above all, the SOMOS IWT machines have evolved with unique and targeted design criteria to enable our customers to produce advanced, leading-edge surface finishes and geometries. Operating Principle Parts to be surfaced and placed in carrier pockets. During the process, the loaded carriers are driven in a planetary orbit between two rotating top and bottom plates, and rotating central gear and a fixed or rotating external ring gear. The speeds of the plates and gears are individually adjustable, as well as pressure on the workpiece. The actual speed and torque are displayed for each plate. General Description Movements • All motions have been designed using sealed ball bearings which are optimally protected.
