Apparatus and method for rotary buffing

摘要

Apparatus and method for rotary buffing or wiping of workpieces having uneven surfaces in which the workpiece generally linearly advances relative to one or more buffing rolls which are spinning about spin axes disposed in a plane generally parallel to the workpiece surface and simultaneously rotating about an axis generally perpendicuar to the workpiece surface. In a preferred embodiment, the buffing rolls are supported in a rotating carriage with their spin axes in coparallel relationship.
