Release of double side lapper, polisher DSM22B-6L/P for glass disks


DSM22B-6L/P is a new product of SpeedFam which is a double side processing machine with six workpiece carriers (jigs to hold processing workpiece in place) each with a diameter of 22 inches. This machine is specifically designed for thin and fragile glass workpieces and is adopted for production of small glass memory disks.
This machine is capable of batch processes of 108 pieces of each (3.5"), 130 pieces (3"), and 180 pieces (2.5"). The micro-waviness is equal to or less than 0.4nm. The 22B-6L/P is available as either a lapper or polisher with the quality to process thin glass workpieces to demanding industry requirements.
Magnetic disk density is increasing nearly 100% a year, and the substrate specification requirements are getting tighter. These days glass material are selected more for the substrates.
One of the answers to maintaining low costs for glass disks processing (time and cost) hangs in the DSM22B-6L/P. The superior mass production characteristics of this system for high precision processing can be realized to meet the needs of the glass disk industry.

Features
  • Super exact flat processing of glass disk substrates
  • Applicable for all planar processing from lap to final polish
  • Options to enable various functions for glass disk manufacturing
  • High precision auto thickness controls (choicees include eddy current sensor or magnescale method)
  • Machine is applicable to other applications: silicon wafers, crystals, aluminum disks, etc.
