Abstract
A multi-station polish system and process for polishing thin, flat (planar) and rigid workpieces. Workpieces are conveyed through multiple polishing stations that include a bulk material removal belt polishing station and finishing rotary polishing station. The bulk of the material is relatively quickly removed at the bulk removal station using a conformable abrasive belt and the workpiece surface is then polished to the desired finish at the finishing station using a conformable annular rotary polishing pad.
