Large batch magnetic float polishing equipment

摘要

A dual load system (18) to achieve desired controlled polishing forces in the finishing of large batches of ceramic balls (54). The first, and primary, load system (18) is a mechanical dead weight system, and the other is a magnetic field system. The former applies the required load per ball (54) (e.g. 1N/ball) while the latter acts as a spring load to even out the polishing forces due to variations in the size of the balls (54). In principle, the apparatus can be used either as a straight polishing apparatus or as a magnetic float polishing apparatus.
