Polishing MachinesAutomatic polishing machines are best suited to processing high volumes of a relatively small variety of components, as the configuration of the machine must usually be reset for each different part.
In profile or copy polishing machines, the mop head will accurately present itself to each aspect of the component. This may require several mop heads at different orientations.
In semi-automatic polishing the operator fixes the part to a machine, which then is conveyed along a line or indexes back and forth under a single polishing station allowing the machine to take the load of the part and giving good consistency of finish. This is advantageous where there are large volumes to be polished. Centreless polishing machines allow a tube or rod to be slowly rotated against a buff station whilst it is being pushed along by an angled feed roller. If several stations are put in line this can become more fully automated.
In fully automatic polishing machines, parts are fixed into jigs which then pass under a series of buff stations before being unloaded. This allows for large volumes of parts to be polished over several stages. A continuous conveyor line can be operated or a rotary table can be used, the size of the part determining which is most effective.
