    Abstract: An apparatus for abrading or deburring a workpiece is provided and includes in combination a conveyor for moving the workpiece from a first position to a second position and at least two assemblies intermediate the first and second positions and opposite the conveyor for abrading one side of the workpiece in a plurality of directions. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, a third assembly may be provided which deburrs an opposite side of the workpiece as it is passed through the deburring assembly. The conveyor for moving the workpiece positively fixes the location of the workpiece with respect to the conveyor and translates the workpiece through the deburring assembly.

    Abstract: A wafer polishing apparatus includes a module frame; a continuous belt rotatable with respect to the frame, the belt having at least one vertically-oriented belt transverse portion including a polishing pad assembly; and at least one pivotable wafer-holding head drive within the frame and having a distal end portion movable to a vertical first position parallel and juxtaposed to the belt transverse portion. The head drive includes a wafer carrier for holding a wafer on the distal end portion of the head drive, while a drive moves the distal end portion and a held wafer into a vertical polishing position abutting the belt transverse portion and pressure is applied to the held-wafer against the polishing pad assembly while the wafer-holding distal end portion is rotated and swept side-by-side. After polishing the drive is reversed and the head drive is pivoted away from the belt transverse portion to a horizontal or other orientation and the then polished wafer removed. Multiple modules may be placed end-to-end or side-by-side with a robot pathway therebetween to load unpolished wafers and to unload polished wafers to a buffing station, to a cassette or other processing station.

    Abstract: A disk texturing apparatus for texturing surfaces of a magnetic disk or the like with cross-pattern grooves. The texturing apparatus is basically constituted by a rotational drive having a spindle for supporting and rotating a disk, and a tape transport mechanism for moving a texturing tape across and in pressed with a texturing surface of said disk. The spindle of the rotational drive mechanism is arranged to hold a disk in an eccentrically deviated position off the rotational axis of the rotational drive. As a result, the disk is revolved along an eccentrically deflecting orbit around the rotational axis of said rotational drive while being rotated with the spindle, moving in and out in radial directions in a degree commensurate with the amount of deviation from said rotational axis to form cross-pattern grooves on the disk surface.

    Abstract: An abrasive grinding machine (11) is disclosed which comprises workpiece conveying means (14) carried in a horizontal position by a frame (12) with a grinding head (15) disposed in overlying relation thereto. The conveying means (14) includes a flexible endless conveyor belt (22) the upper flight of which passes over a rigid planar backing surface. The grinding head (15) includes an abrasive belt (27) that moves in a direction opposite the conveyor belt (22). A back-up roller (31) is rotatably disposed in a recess (21) in the bed (13) in opposition to a drive roller (28) of the grinding head (15). The back-up roller (31) slightly elevates the conveyor belt (22) from the rigid support surface of the bed (13). The belt (22) is thus able to deflect and conform to a warped or twisted workpiece as it moves through the grinding area, resulting in uniform deslagging of each workpiece.
