The superfinishing of workpieces is a micro machining process which frequently finds application when other production techniques such as fine milling, fine turning, grinding, lapping or polishing can only meet the required characteristics at considerable cost or are simply not able to meet the requirements.
Superfinishing machines are today always used when the highest precision is required of the workpiece to be machined. It is widely known that the functional behaviour of component parts is decisively influenced by the deviation of their machined surface and their geometrical design.
