Grinding Machine MPS 3-134 Twin
Super finishing of mono + poly-crystalline silicon blocks for solar wafer
High precision flat grinding machine with oscillating table and two spindles.
- Prepared for robot-loading of block
- Main grinding spindle Twin type for two step grinding of the block sides.
- Second grinding spindle for simultaneously camferring the edges of the block.
- chamferring of the edges and grinding of the faces in the same clamping position (no rechucking)
- Automatic handling (loading, unloading, turning) of the block.
- Automatic grinding process
Conditions for best grinding results
- Do not place the machine near vibration generating systems hammers, presses etc.
- The foundation must be plane, rigid and shock free.
- The machine must be accurately adjusted in all directions with the aid of the vibration pads. Use a spirit level to adjust the machine exactly.
- The temperature of the spindle coolant water should not deviate more than ± 2°C from room temperature! The water must be filtered by > / = 5 µm.
- The pressurized air must be completely free of oil residues, filtered by 5 µm and prepared by refrigerated dryer.
- During the grinding process the temperature must be kept within a range of ±2°C to obtain best precision. A dima controlled room is recommended.
- The above specifications may change due to technical modifications. Please confirm before placing your order.
