As shown in Figure 7, polishing workpiece 92 constitutes (will be cut off each slide block that becomes thin-film head) by the ceramic rod 104 of rectangular rod elongation, and a plurality of magnetic head converters of being made up of magnetic thin film on it are arranged in the mode of line spread.The magnetic thin film of converter is arranged in vertical side surface 104a of ceramic rod 104.At present embodiment, suppose that the basal surface (polished surface) of ceramic rod 104 polishes in preceding operation, thus, each converter that is positioned at vertical side surface 104a has had predetermined entrance height.
Next, to want the circular entrance height that must assurance can not cause the front operation to obtain that remarkable change is arranged in order obtaining and to prevent the fluctuation of the vertical polished amount of polishing workpiece the selection that allows polished amount.The polishing process that obtains suitable entrance height generally carries out at different burnishing devices with the polishing process that obtains circle, because polished amount in these operations and the desired precision of this polished amount are diverse.
According to the present invention, the polished amount of polishing workpiece 92 is controlled the polishing of measuring in the polishing process under the so-called closed-loop control that magnetic resistance value (MR value) that the magnetoresistive element be positioned at a plurality of converters draws carries out.Determine desired polished amount according to measured value, then according to pressure and balance thereof on the polished amount adjusting polishing workpiece 92 of decision.At present embodiment, carry out polishing operation and be being positioned at the converter at ceramic rod 104 centers and being positioned at the magnetic resistance value of the magnetoresistive element in ceramic rod 104 left sides and precalculated position, right side by interval measurement at the fixed time.The magnetic resistance value is only three position measurements in the present embodiment, but when requiring that polished amount had more accurate control, preferably increases the number of measurement point and the number of the spot pressure on the polishing workpiece.
In order to measure the magnetoresistive element magnetic resistance value that is positioned at converter, set in advance the electrode that is connected by electrical wiring to above-mentioned magnetoresistive element to be measured at the side direction prolongation anchor clamps 94 surperficial 94a of relative rear panel.Be provided with the measurement pin 128 (with reference to figure 3) that can be moved by spring at rectangular slab 90, so when the anchor clamps 94 that extend laterally are fixed to rectangular slab 90, above-mentioned electrode and measurement pin 128 are connected to each other, measure pin 128 and be connected to not shown magnetic resistance value measurement mechanism, so predetermined magnetoresistive element magnetic resistance value can be fixed to rectangular slab 90 and measures by side direction being prolonged anchor clamps 94.
The control gear of the practical structures of magnetic resistance value measurement mechanism and push rod pressure will be introduced below.Fig. 9 is the control system block scheme that comprises above-mentioned measuring mechanism and control gear, and control system can drive according to the magnetic resistance value that records and proofread and correct transfer bar mechanism.And Figure 10 is the more detailed block diagram of measurement and multipath conversion plate 220, and Figure 11 is the more detailed block diagram of push rod drive plate.At present embodiment, measure the magnetic resistance value by 4 terminal resistance, a plurality of measurement pins 128 (POGO pin) contact with magnetoresistive element 201.Measurement and multipath conversion plate 220 utilize the known calculating that 4 terminal resistance measurements are carried out to be resistance value from magnetoresistive element 201 and measurement pin 128 voltage transitions that obtain.Therefore the resistance value that obtains is converted and is the input/output terminal 211 that numerical data enters microcomputer 210 by multipath conversion.Computing machine 210 shows polished amount according to the polished amount of input data computation polishing workpiece 92 and to the operator.
With reference to Figure 10, be described in detail from the operation that the magnetic resistance value measures numerical data output for the front.Measure and multipath conversion plate 220 is carried out and provided from the electric current of constant current source 221 and carry out the voltage measurement of measuring between the pin, and according to the measured value that carries out at counter 223 and reference resistance 222 relatively combine digital calculate, thereby obtain the impedance of magnetoresistive element.Income value further is converted to numerical data by AC/DC changeover switch 224.
According to the numerical data after the conversion, determine polished amount at the surface polishing 92a of magnetoresistive element and adjacent domain thereof.Then, for the polished amount that needing to obtain, computing machine 210 calculates each transfer bar mechanism 70A, 70B, drive amount that 70C requires.Offer push rod drive plate 230 these drive amount data by input/output end port 211 computing machines 210, these data convert control signal to by the AC/DC changeover switch 231 of push rod drive plate, drive current output unit 232 receives these signals then, and output drives the required current value of transfer bar mechanism respectively.Respond these output, transfer bar mechanism is finely tuned rear panel 68 upward pressures, and the longitudinal pressure balance of the last polishing workpiece 92 of surface polishing 2a obtains trickle adjusting by the anchor clamps 94 that side direction prolongs thus.
At present embodiment, the polished amount of crown processing is to control by the closed-loop control system that explained earlier is crossed.Therefore can realize that the meticulous control of polished amount reduces the fluctuation of polishing workpiece polished amount, this is difficult to realize on common device.In single polishing workpiece, can also control the polished amount that vertically goes up diverse location, therefore reduced the polished amount fluctuation in the polishing workpiece, this also is that common device is difficult to accomplish.
To introduce the finishing method and the function of the embodiment of the invention below.
Rubbing head 20 at first as illustrated in fig. 1 and 2 moves from the position relative to polishing block, be equipped with a plurality of thin-film heads the polishing workpiece clamping extend laterally the rectangular slab 90 that anchor clamps 94 connected pieces 122 and fixed pin 96 are fixed on rear panel 68.Rear panel 68 is set at zero degree (being orthogonal to the reference planes 2b of polishing block 2) at first with respect to the inclination angle of rubbing head 20 in operation.
In this state, measure pin and contact the distribution that detects polished amount or draw from converter with the converter of the predetermined magnetic head that is used for carrying out the magnetic resistance measurement.Measuring the spring compacting that pin is subjected to not illustrating, is in order constantly to keep suitable electric contact, even also can keep in the polishing operation process.
Set the pitch angle of rear panel 68 and fixedly extend laterally after the anchor clamps 94 by tilt drive mechanism, the rubbing head fixed frame 12 that rubbing head 20 has been installed moves and stops at the predetermined position on rotation polishing block 2 along guide rail 8 as straight line.Rubbing head 20 drops to the surface polishing 2a that constitutes polishing block 2 upper surfaces.In operation, proofread and correct transfer bar mechanism 70A, 70B, 70C in the back the pressure that produces of the both sides (left side among Fig. 3 and right side) of 68 66 of plates be set to zero, therefore make rear panel 68 and the anchor clamps 94 that extend laterally can rotate around axle 66.
When polishing workpiece 92 contacted surface polishing 2a with its whole surface, the decline of rubbing head 20 stopped.When the sloping portion of surface polishing 2a concave surface contacts polishing workpiece 92, need relative descent direction inclination polishing workpiece 92, so that whole surface is contacted with surface polishing 2a.At present embodiment, as previously described, rear panel 68, the anchor clamps 94 and the polishing workpiece that extend laterally are to be in the state that freely rotates to contact with surface polishing 2a down, so whole polished surface 92a and surface polishing 2a can keep in touch, needn't use the control gear polishing workpiece 92 that tilts in rotation.After step-down operation was finished, in order to obtain contact reliably between whole polished surface 92a and the surface polishing 2a, the anchor clamps 94 that extend laterally also will stand little repeatedly up-down vibration.
When the surface polishing 2a of present embodiment is a concave surface, the different piece that the rotation of polishing workpiece can cause polished surface 92a in the polishing operation process changes for the pressure of surface polishing 2a, this in addition having only 66 pairs of polishing workpieces of axle Shi Douhui that exerts pressure to take place.For this reason, adopted the center of rotation of its rubbing head 20 of a kind of structure consistent, and this center of rotation to remain in the diameter of polishing block 2 or is positioned on the center of rotation extended line when rubbing head 20 is done straight reciprocating motion with the center of rotation of polishing workpiece.
The end that rubbing head 20 descends will come whether the distance between the precalculated position reaches predetermined numerical value on detecting sensor and the surface polishing by unshowned capacitance type proximity transducer, also can use the range sensing type proximity transducer of magnetic detection type proximity transducer or use high frequency waves.
The polishing that polished surface 92a carries out is to realize with contacting of surface polishing 2a by whole polished surface 92a.In the polishing operation process, polishing workpiece 92 is pressed onto surface polishing 2a by resilient rubbber cushion 97, with surface polishing 2a better the contact is arranged in order to make workpiece, and polishing workpiece 92 is provided with a plurality of perpendicular to its groove longitudinally.For this reason, even when axle 66 was corrected transfer bar mechanism 80B and promotes separately, polishing workpiece all was easy to bending.To this, as long as at surface polishing flexible member is set simply, pressure just can be distributed on the whole polished surface 92a effectively, and can reduce the polished amount fluctuation of polishing workpiece.
But, depending on that surface polishing 2a goes up the state when the beginning polishing operation between the consumption of polishing emery liquid and polished surface 92a and the surface polishing 2a, each polishing workpiece has the fluctuation of polishing speed and polished amount.At present embodiment, adopted the mensuration polished amount and according to these measured values to proofreading and correct transfer bar mechanism 70B closed-loop control for pressure regulation, thereby realized balance to polished amount between the meticulous control of polished amount and the different polishing workpiece.In polishing process, near the pressure the two ends of polishing workpiece 92 has reduced the polishing workpiece fluctuation of polished amount in the vertical by proofreading and correct when being adjusted in of transfer bar mechanism 70A, 70C controlled polished amount in addition.
The polishing process of Jie Shaoing may produce unbalanced friction if the maintenance of the same position of polishing workpiece 92 just contacts with polished surface 2a in the above.For this reason, the rotation eyelid retractor 16 polished head tremor pendulum motors 32 that rubbing head 20 is installed drive, and do alternating movement at predetermined angular range.And rubbing head fixed frame 12 is done straight reciprocating motion in predetermined scope.Therefore in the polishing operation process, rubbing head has carried out by rotating the aggregate motion that to-and-fro movement and straight reciprocating motion are formed.Therefore the unbalanced wearing and tearing of polished surface have been prevented.
Embodiment in front, the magnetic resistance value is measured at three points of polishing workpiece, proofreaies and correct transfer bar mechanism in the load of these three points by three and regulates.But the number of the number of measurement point and the point of load is not only limited to top explanation.The target of Ce Lianging also is not limited to the magnetic resistance value in addition, for example, the change that can also come measuring resistance by the electrode that other measurement polished amount is set at polishing workpiece, or directly measure the shape of polished surface and obtain polished amount by polishing shape application image is handled by the optical devices as optical microscope.Proofreading and correct the low friction cylinder that transfer bar mechanism also is not limited among the embodiment of front in addition can also be made up of different drive units, as the drive unit of electromagnetic type.
Being fixed on the rubber blanket that extends laterally anchor clamps and be used for the clamping polishing workpiece can be made up of any material, as long as it has elastic performance, can by autoadhesion performance and vacuum engagement performance support polishing workpiece and by elastic deformation along the surface polishing distortion that mainly is curved surface.Embodiment in front is arranged on a plurality of of polishing workpiece and carries out easily along the distortion of surface polishing perpendicular to groove is feasible longitudinally, but this effect also can adopt more resilient material realize by thickness or the polishing workpiece that reduces polishing workpiece.In addition, measure and control gear also is not limited to the structure that discloses among the embodiment in front, and can comprise any mechanism that can measure the polishing workpiece polished amount and can regulate polishing workpiece pressure according to measured value.
The present invention mainly is the surface polishing of concave surface and is provided with a plurality of perpendicular to groove longitudinally in the rear surface of polishing workpiece by polishing workpiece is pressed to through the flexible member of mainly being made up of rubber, whole polished surface is contacted with surface polishing easily, therefore can obtain satisfied crown polished surface.
