The data to be polished and transferred.
The polishing machine 9 is provided with correction polishing (rough finish polishing wheel 9a of # 320,
9b)-Surface roughness miniaturized polishing (using rough finish grinding wheels 9a and 9b)-Medium finish polishing (use of # 1000 medium finishing polishing wheel 9c)-Surface roughness miniaturized polishing (in # 1000) Finish polishing whetstone 9c)-Top finish polishing (use # 6000 precision polishing whetstone 9d)-Surface roughness miniaturization polishing (use # 6000 precision polishing whetstone 9d)-Mirror finish polishing (# 6000 precision polishing) (Using a grinding stone 9d).

The rough finish grinding wheels 9a and 9b have a crossing angle of 90 degrees when both the extension line of the rotation axis of the grinding wheel and the rotation axis of the roll are viewed from the plane direction, and the contact angle of the grinding wheel at the time of polishing. The polishing is performed while maintaining the polishing pressure constant, with the line being within the range of the diameter line passing through the center of the center hole on the end face of the grinding wheel or the chord line parallel to the diameter line as far as it does not deviate from the center hole.

In the correction polishing, even if the cylindrical accuracy of the roll R before the cylindrical polishing is low, or even if a cylindrical polishing apparatus having a low cylindrical polishing accuracy is used, the roll R is extremely high so as to have a uniform diameter over the entire length. This is a polishing method in which cylindrical polishing accuracy can be obtained in a short time, and a polishing method in which the roll diameter is reduced in consideration of the plating current being concentrated near both ends of the roll to increase the plating thickness (JP-A-11-090796) And JP-A-11-090797). Specifically, JP-A-11-090797
As shown in the number, from the one end of the roll R to the other end, for the minimum position of the measured diameter value of each section measured at regular intervals,
When the polishing grindstone is brought into close contact with the roll R and moved in one direction while maintaining a constant polishing pressure, the diameter before polishing is corrected to a value approximating to be four times the single polishing dimension, and the polishing grindstone is determined. Is brought into close contact with the roll R and polished while repeating the reciprocating movement while keeping the polishing pressure constant, so that the roll R is polished so as to have a uniform diameter value until there is no polishing margin larger than the minimum diameter value before polishing. In the cylindrical body polishing method, a section of a polishing margin portion larger than the minimum diameter value before polishing is polished and moved by the number of times proportional to the diameter value before polishing, and at that time, a polishing margin portion having the same diameter value continuously exists. When the section is reciprocally polished and moves to a section where the polishing allowance portion is separated, the polishing pressure is substantially reduced to zero without releasing the close contact between the polishing wheel and the roll R.

In the surface roughness miniaturization polishing, although the roll R is polished with a predetermined grinding wheel, a surface roughness equivalent to the surface roughness when polishing with a larger grinding wheel is obtained. Is a polishing method, specifically, the intersection angle when both the extension line of the rotation axis of the grinding wheel and the rotation axis of the roll R are viewed from the plane direction is non-perpendicular, and the grinding wheel with respect to the roll R The roll R is supported at both ends and rotated so that the contact line at the time of polishing the end face is within a range parallel to the radius line of the end face of the grindstone or the radius line as long as it does not deviate from the center hole. This is a method of rotating the grindstone, linearly contacting the annular end surface of the grindstone with the roll R, moving the grindstone from one end to the other end of the roll R while maintaining a constant polishing pressure, and uniformly grinding the cylinder. The direction of rotation of the grindstone and roll R is different Normal cylindrical polishing that moves from one end to the other end of the cylindrical body is performed once or more than once, and finally, the contact is made in the same rotation direction, and an appropriate point of the polishing contact line The fine cylindrical polishing is performed once or more times to move from one end to the other end of the roll R at substantially the same speed in the same manner. And roll R
Are performed in the same direction as the rotation direction, and one or more times of fine cylindrical polishing that moves from one end to the other end of the roll R with the speed substantially coincident at an appropriate point of the polishing contact line ( JP-A-2000-233348).

In order to bring the roll R to a mirror finish by grinding the grindstone, the end face of the coarse grinding grindstone, which is driven to rotate by the roll R, is moved while applying a lubricating liquid to polish the entire length to a uniform diameter. Then, the roll R is rotated in the reverse direction to perform polishing to remove pitch streaks attached to the roll R by a coarse polishing grindstone, and then moved while pressing the roll R with a rotationally driven PVA grindstone and applying a lubricating liquid. And the roll R is rotated at a rotation speed higher than the rotation speed at the time of the finish polishing so as to be freely rotatable.
By pressing the grindstone at a constant pressure several times the polishing pressure and applying a lubricating liquid to rotate the roll R and move the PVA grindstone, a minute relative velocity is generated at the line contact point between the cylindrical body and the PVA grindstone. This can be achieved by mirror polishing the cylindrical body (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-114800).
