<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polishing machine economically and rapidly polishing the end face of a ferrule for an optical connector. <P>SOLUTION: This polishing machine is provided with a rotary shaft 5 in a position decentered from the center axis of a rotating drum 6 to impart revolution and rotation to a polishing disk 4 on the rotary shaft. Friction is applied to a rotation restrained disk connected in linkage with the rotary shaft, to transmit rotational moment caused by revolution, to the rotary shaft to thereby revolve and rotate the polishing disk simultaneously. A film with metallic foil and a plastic film laminated is used as a polishing sheet, and a slurry-like polishing fluid obtained by mixing diamond and abrasive grains lower in hardness than diamond into a turbid state is supplied onto the sheet to carry out polishing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
