ABSTRACT:
Methods for performing surface lapping using a robotic system are provided. In one embodiment, a method for lapping a surface includes providing a lapping assembly having a first base coupled to a second base by a flexible coupling member, and a lapping medium coupled to the second base, the flexible coupling member being configured to flex to allow the lapping medium to at least partially conform to the surface. The lapping medium is moveably applied to the surface using the lapping assembly. In another embodiment, the method further includes pneumatically controlling a pressure applied by the lapping medium to the surface using a pneumatic device operatively coupled to the second base.
