Apparatus and method for burnishing magnetic disks.

摘要

The burnishing tool has a plurality of holes (41) in the planar surface (40) which engages the flexible magnetic disk (4). Each hole contains a burnishing blade (42) positioned at 45° to the direction of motion. A manifold (20) connects each hole to a vacuum pump which draws air into the holes causing the flexible magnetic disk to fly against the planar surface. The vacuum also removes the debris from the burnishing tool.
