Provided is a polishing apparatus comprising a lower stool (), a motor () and a speed reducer () for driving the lower stool, and a box () for covering at least the portion of the lower stool below the working action face. The polishing apparatus polishes a wafer by forcing the wafer to contact the lower stool and by rotating the lower stool. The box has its inside separated by partitions (and) into a plurality of regions, and the motor for driving the lower stool is arranged in a region other than the region containing the lower stool. The polishing apparatus can manufacture a wafer of a stable shape, irrespective of the time elapsed from the running start and the presence/absence of the stop of the polishing apparatus.

Polishing apparatus

The method of polishing a work is capable of reducing a polishing cost, polishing a surface of the work with high polishing accuracy and easily disposing used polishing liquid and used washing liquid. The method comprises the steps of: pressing the work onto a polishing member; feeding polishing liquid; and relatively moving the work with respect to the polishing member. Electrolytic reduced water produced by electrolyzing an electrolyte solution is used as the polishing liquid.

Polishing apparatus and method of polishing work

The method of the present invention cleans abrasive faces of an upper abrasive plate and a lower abrasive plate of an abrasive machine. The method is executed by a cleaning device including: a nozzle for jetting water; a brush for preventing the jetted water from scattering in the air, the brush enclosing the nozzle; and another brush for closing a gap between the preventing brush and an outer edge of the upper abrasive plate, the method is characterized by the steps of: jetting water from the nozzle toward the abrasive face of the upper abrasive plate; moving the nozzle toward the outer edge of the upper abrasive plate; and closing the gap by the closing brush when the gap is formed between the preventing brush and the outer edge of the upper abrasive plate.

Method of cleaning abrasive plates of abrasive machine and cleaning device

Cloth cleaning device of a polishing machine which is capable of fully cleaning a polishing cloth including a part in the vicinity of a center roller. The cloth cleaning device includes an arm movable in a plane parallel to the polishing cloth between a first position above the polishing cloth and a second position outside of the polishing cloth. A jet nozzle is attached to the arm and directs high pressure water toward the polishing cloth. An enclosing member encloses the jet nozzle so as to prevent the high pressure water, which has been directed out from the jet nozzle, from scattering. The jet nozzle is oriented toward the center roller and the high pressure water is directed toward the part of the polishing cloth in the vicinity of the center roller when the arm moves the jet nozzle close to the center roller.
