This paper reviews the idea of a robotic lapping system. Robot’s assistance automates the lap-ping process and supports the development of a flexible lapping system. However, the main aim behind the idea of a robotic lapping system is to provide improved means for controlling the posi-tion of conditioning rings on a lapping plate. Due to the kinematics of lapping process, the profile wear of the tool is not constant along the radius. Changing the kinematic parameters, e.g. position of the conditioning ring with the working elements or rotational velocities of the lap and the ring can be used for correction of surface’s profile in the lap as well as for avoiding undesirable con-vexity or concavity. Lapping plate flatness has an essential influence on the shape accuracy of lapped surfaces. Flatness of the lap during its contact with the abrasive grain in the lapping process was studied.
