Product Detail

Single-Sided Polishing Machine — Overview & Working Principle


Morinaga's single-sided polishing machines (ES32B/36B and ES50B series) are built to deliver a uniformly flat, high-clarity surface finish on one side of thin, brittle, and hard workpieces. The plate-based design keeps flatness and finish consistent across a full production batch, whether the run is a handful of prototype samples or a continuous high-volume order.

Each unit ships with digital speed, pressure, and dressing controls, so operators can dial in a repeatable recipe once and reuse it across shifts. The frame and lapping plate are engineered to resist the vibration and thermal drift that would otherwise round off edges or create waviness across a large-diameter part.

Working Principle

  • Carrier rings or fixtures sit loosely on the rotating polishing plate, allowing the workpiece inside to float and self-align with the plate surface.
  • A steady feed of polishing slurry or fine abrasive is metered onto the plate, where it embeds into the pad and continuously removes material from the exposed face.
  • As the plate turns, it transfers its own flatness onto the part, gradually closing in on the target thickness, parallelism, and surface roughness.

Typical Applications

Material Group Typical Parts
Semiconductor Silicon wafers, germanium wafers, memory substrates
Optical & Sapphire LED sapphire substrates, optical glass, quartz crystal blanks
Ceramic & Piezoelectric Ceramic substrates, piezoelectric crystal wafers
Precision Mechanical Thin metal seal rings, hard/brittle precision components

After single-sided grinding and polishing, parts can reach a flatness of 0.3 μm, parallelism of 1 μm, thickness difference of 1 μm, and a surface roughness below 0.01 μm — figures aimed squarely at semiconductor and precision optical production lines.

About Us

Morinaga Optical & Electronic Equipment


Zhejiang Morinaga Optical & Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd. was founded in 2011 and has since focused on precision planar grinding and polishing technology. The company designs and builds single- and double-sided lapping/polishing equipment used to process thin, brittle, and hard materials — from LED sapphire substrates and silicon/germanium wafers to ceramic substrates, optical glass, quartz crystal, and other semiconductor-grade materials.

Morinaga's roots trace back to Taizhou Yong'an Machinery, established in 1993 to make fixtures and precision parts for grinding and polishing equipment. That mechanical know-how carried directly into the Morinaga machine lineup, and later expanded further through Zhejiang Yong'an Intelligent Equipment, which supplies transmission components — worm gear reducers, helical gear reducers, and direct-drive rotary tables — for CNC and automated production lines.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions


What is a single-sided polishing machine used for?

It's used to grind and polish one face of thin, hard, or brittle workpieces — such as sapphire substrates, silicon and germanium wafers, ceramic substrates, optical glass, and quartz crystal — down to a precise, uniform, mirror-flat finish suitable for downstream semiconductor or optical processing.

What precision can Morinaga's single-sided polishing machines achieve?

Depending on the material and recipe, workpieces processed on the ES32B/36B and ES50B series can reach a flatness of 0.3 μm, a parallelism of 1 μm, a thickness difference of 1 μm, and a surface roughness under 0.01 μm.

Which materials and industries are these machines suited for?

They are commonly used across the semiconductor, sapphire, and piezoelectric crystal industries, processing materials such as LED sapphire substrates, silicon/germanium wafers, ceramic substrates, optical glass, quartz crystals, and other hard, brittle materials that require a flat, low-roughness surface.

Can the machine be customized, and what support comes with it?

Yes. Morinaga's engineering team can adjust plate size, fixture design, and process parameters to match a customer's specific part geometry and target tolerances, and offers process guidance plus after-sales technical support to help commission the machine on the production line.
