Precision deep drilling has been TAES’s main focus for years. However, this year we’re taking it a step further: we’ve added a state-of-the-art lapping machine, allowing us to offer this service directly from our facilities and complete the machining process in-house.
This new development represents a strategic expansion of our capabilities, designed to offer our clients more complete, integrated solutions with greater control throughout the entire process.
What does internal lapping offer our customers?
Integrating lapping within TAES’s facilities is not just a technological improvement. It means that every part that undergoes deep drilling can continue the process without relying on third parties. This offers several key advantages:
1. Greater dimensional accuracy
Lapping allows for precise adjustment of part dimensions with extremely tight tolerances. This ensures that each component meets the exact design and functional requirements, which is essential in critical projects.
2.- Improved interior surface finish
The internal finish of a part directly influences its performance, especially in components subjected to friction, pressure, or fluid flow. Internal lapping creates uniform, imperfection-free surfaces, improving the reliability and durability of each part.
3. Optimal geometry and cylindricity
The combination of precision deep drilling and internal lapping ensures that the geometry and cylindricity of the part strictly meet the most demanding standards. This is essential for components where every micron counts. Furthermore, it helps to improve the internal regularity of the part and reduce deviations that could affect its final performance.
4. Stricter control of critical tolerances
By performing the lapping in-house, TAES can monitor every phase of the process. This allows for more precise control of critical tolerances and ensures that each part is delivered meeting the exact criteria defined by the customer. This greater control also facilitates a more agile response to technical adjustments or specific project requirements.
5. Less dependence on third parties and greater agility
By eliminating intermediaries, the risk of errors, delays, or misunderstandings is reduced. This translates into faster delivery times and more transparent monitoring of the production process. For the client, it means working with a more direct, coordinated and easy-to-control process from beginning to end.
Expanded capacities: diameters and lengths
TAES’ in-house lapping service covers a range of diameters from 23 mm to 450 mm and lengths up to 8 meters, even for highly demanding materials. This capability enhances our versatility and allows us to handle technically complex parts without compromising accuracy or process control.
A comprehensive solution for critical projects
Adding lapping is not simply about adding a machine. It represents a comprehensive approach: from deep drilling to interior finishing, all controlled under the same quality standards and technical supervision.
For our clients, this translates into a complete solution from start to finish, where every step is optimized to maintain the accuracy, uniformity, and reliability demanded by the most demanding industrial projects.
If you’re developing parts that require deep drilling and high-precision internal finishing, TAES can now support you throughout the entire process. The combination of our expertise in precision deep drilling and our new internal lapping service ensures:
- Greater technical control at each stage.
- Superior and uniform finishes.
- Strict adherence to critical tolerances.
- Greater speed and efficiency by reducing intermediaries.
With this expansion of capabilities, TAES reinforces its commitment to critical industrial projects, offering integrated solutions that guarantee precision, reliability and technical excellence.
