2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional lapping machine composed of upper and lower lapping disks, a lower lapping disk having a V-groove or a U-groove formed in an outer peripheral side and a circumferential direction is used. In the polishing of a ceramic sphere by such a lapping machine, the sphere is lap-polished by the rolling of the ceramic sphere due to the difference in the peripheral speed between the outside and the inside of the V-groove or U-groove. The polishing produces directionality, and the cross section becomes elliptical. Here, to change the phase of the rolling ceramic ball,
The ceramic spheres were taken out of the upper and lower lap disks at regular intervals and supplied again between the upper and lower lap disks and polished into true spheres. Therefore, high-precision and high-efficiency lap polishing cannot be easily performed, and it takes a long time of about one week for true sphere polishing of ceramic balls.

When a ceramic ball is arranged between a lower lap disk and an upper lap disk in which only a V-groove or a U-groove is formed and lap polishing is performed, and vibration is induced by a rotational force during the lap polishing, Due to the vibration, undulating irregularities can be formed on the surface of the V-groove or U-groove in the circumferential direction of the lower lap disk. As shown in FIG. 3, if the four corners of the machine base 10 on which the lapping machine is mounted are not fixed with the robust anchor bolts as in the case of the ordinary mechanical device but are supported by the elongated anchor bolts 9 in a free state, vibration is induced. The undulations can be easily formed.

[0013] In addition, in order to accurately and efficiently perform a true spherical polishing within 18 hours, a lapping liquid 17 containing an abrasive is required. It is necessary to supply an appropriate amount continuously. Usually, a flow control valve
After adjusting the flow rate and flow rate of the lapping liquid containing abrasive material by adjusting the flow rate and adjusting the flow rate and flow rate of the lapping liquid containing the abrasive material, adjust the flow rate control valve and the lapping liquid supply pipe 11 (2) underneath. Concentrates and causes clogging. In order to prevent this, conventionally, in addition to the supply pump 14 for supplying the lapping liquid from the lapping liquid tank 15, a pump is also disposed at the flow rate adjusting valve to cope with the problem. Here, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a T-shaped pipe 13 is provided below the flow control valve, and the excess amount of the lapping liquid supplied from the lapping liquid tank 15 by the supply pump 14 is supplied to one side of the T-shaped pipe. The lapping liquid is returned to the lapping liquid tank to prevent clogging of the lapping liquid, and further, the abrasive material and the liquid in the tank are agitated by the liquid flow of the returned lapping liquid. As described above, the lapping liquid can be adjusted from a very small amount to a large volume, and an appropriate amount of the lapping liquid can be continuously supplied for a long time.
