PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEATING UP OF ACTUATING SYSTEM OF A SINGLE-DISC LAPPING MACHINE FOR FLAT SURFACES

The paper presents the results of the examination of the heating up of the basic elements of the actuating system of a single-disc lapping machine with standard kinematics, intended for machining flat surfaces. The increase of the temperature of the drive assembly, rollers and separator guide ring, as well as the lapping disc and machined elements were analysed. Heating up of the machining system was examined during the machining of a cast iron tool and flat surface lapping. Lapping is one of the methods of abrasive machining applied during the individual fitting of elements in assembly or when a technological compensator is used. The increase of temperature in the machining system influences, among others, the dimensional accuracy of lapped metal elements.
