Precision grinding and lapping

Grinding is the most common method to effectively machine ceramic materials. Surface and cylindrical grinding play thereby an important role. Complicated or complex geometries are realized by jig grinding. Components with high standards in planeness, parallelism and surface roughness can be lapped or polished. Jig grinding as a high-precision machining method is sometimes the only possibility to remachine complex geometries and is also used for micro machining at IKTS.
