The Strasbaugh Model 6DE-DC is a six-spindle grinder/polisher with a DC drive system. The Model 6DE-DC has a 12-inch capacity and is fully equipped.[1]
What it is
The model designation 6DE-DC identifies a Strasbaugh machine in a DC-drive configuration.[1]
How it works
The 6DE-DC uses DC drive motors for spindle motion and eccentric arms, and the machine can include variable speed control for the spindle and eccentric functions.[1]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA machine of this class sits in the lapping and polishing portion of the process flow, after prior shaping or grinding steps and before final inspection or downstream finishing steps.
The 6DE-DC is suited to wafer or part finishing where controlled stock removal and surface refinement are required.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA machine of this class is used for precision polishing and grinding of flat parts that require controlled surface finish and tight planar processing.
