Thermal head lapping apparatus

摘要

A thermal head lapping apparatus includes a pallet for holding at least one thermal head, a transport device for transporting the thermal head held on the pallet successively to a specified processing position, and a lapping device for forcing a lapping material being moved onto the thermal head that has been transported to said processing position. As a result, the apparatus is capable of advantageously performing lapping treatment with a good efficiency on surfaces to be coated with protective layers or the formed protective layers in a process of fabricating a thermal head, thereby improving the production efficiency of the thermal head and fabricating with a good productivity the suitably lapped thermal head of high quality that ensures high quality image recording.
