R&D Operation Facilities
Keltech operates a complete research and development facility.
Both the Lapper and Disc Grinder machines were designed and built on-site.
The vitrified diamond agglomerates were made and mold-formed into islands on flexible discs here.
Sapphire wafer abrading process procedures were developed and abrading test data generated
Lapper Machine
The heavy industrial Lapper machine is used to abrade sapphire wafers at high speeds with the diamond abrasive island discs.
Disc Grinder
The Disc Grinder is a heavy industrial machine that is used to pre-grind disc islands into a mutually-flat planar surface.
Machine Shop
Keltech has an extensive machine shop used to build and modify abrasive machines and production equipment.
A Bridgeport mill and a Hardinge tool room lathe are both fully tooled with accessories.
