END SURFACE POLISHING MACHINE

摘要

An end surface polishing machine provided with one or more polishing units each of which consists of a jig to which a plurality of ferrules by which fibers are fastened are fixed, a mechanism for supporting the ferrule fixing jig, and a polisher provided with a ferrule polishing member. The end surfaces of the ferrules are brought into stationary contact with the upper surface of the polisher on which a soft material and a polishing sheet are pasted so as to always apply the same processing pressure to the end surfaces and each sample is processed so as to have a convex surface having a fiber as its apex, by a lapping motion mechanism which is capable of revolving the polisher orbitally and on its own axis independently of each other.
