ALPolish, centennial design of precision polishing machines

ALPolish designs custom equipment ranging from laboratory to production plant. These machines are intended for achieving high-precision surfaces in terms of flatness, parallelism, sphericity, cylindricity, and surface roughness.

All production sectors require polishing/lapping machines that meet their quality and productivity needs. Drawing from a tradition in the polishing industry, ALPolish masters all the constraints and provides its clients with precision machines that offer great versatility and exceptional reliability. As a company focused on both services and innovative machines, ALPolish supports its clients across all operational aspects.

ALPolish is capable of handling all aspects related to these machines: design, testing, manufacturing, compliance, and after-sales service.

A family know-how

ALPolish represents the third generation of an industrial history that began in 1901 in Paris with the creation of a company specializing in the manufacture of polishing machines for precision optics.

After six years in China, where the founder of ALPolish achieved great success thanks to the quality of his machines, he returned to Europe. Proud of his history and roots, ALPolish brings proven, reliable, and high-performance production tools to companies across the continent.

Our Machines

We offer a standard range of double-side and single-side machines, which we leverage to provide a tailored solution for your lapping and polishing needs of flat, spherical, or cylindrical parts. Each machine is available in several configurations, with the key factor being the diameter of the satellites. Depending on the quantity of parts to be processed and the treatment specifications, the optimal configuration is selected based on the machine size.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS

The numerous options available allow for the customization of machines to meet specific needs.

Removing unnecessary systems for certain applications reduces investment and maintenance costs:

  • Temperature regulation
  • Thickness control of parts during the process
  • Abrasive recycling system
  • Loading/unloading trays for parts

CONCEPTION

The structural components of the machines are designed to combine rigidity and flexibility. Rigidity ensures excellent geometries, while flexibility guarantees optimal surface roughness.
The proven technique of floating platens is used, meaning that the upper platen rests freely on the parts to be processed. This method is well-established, and our strength lies in a very precise pressure regulation system with a tolerance of +/- 100g, with the possibility to achieve even greater precision.
Power transmission is carried out via belts, preventing vibrations that could disrupt the polishing process.

MAINTENANCE

Our machines are designed for minimal and cost-effective maintenance. An automatic lubrication system is in place, and internet connectivity is integrated for remote maintenance. Commercially available parts are over-dimensioned and made from proven materials. To ensure stable operating costs, a maintenance contract can be offered to guarantee this.
