RAP Polishing Capability

The current generation of the RAP polishing technique and machine tool, known as RAP-225, is designed to polish a broad variety of parts with 2D round and rotation-symmetric geometries as well as 3D simplified geometries. More specifically, the RAP process can polish inner diameters, outer diameters, and end surfaces of punches, dies, sleeves, tubes, mono-blocks, and other similar workpieces.

The polishing geometries are based on flat surfaces, cylinders, radii, cones up to 45º, sphere-segments and cylinder-segments.

The RAP process works equally well on turned, ground milled and EDM surfaces, on hard and soft materials, and on tungsten carbide and steel materials.

The RAP machine tool can polish tools and components up to Ø300 x 200 mm, and do long thin holes like Ø8 x 150 mm.
