Definitions
- the present invention relates to a polishing apparatus, a polishing method, and a method for manufacturing a glass plate that detect abnormalities such as cracks that occur in the glass plate during processing when the glass plate or the like is processed.
- a glass plate used for a flat panel display such as an LCD or OLED has a factor that affects the image due to minute irregularities and undulations on the surface thereof, and therefore a part or the whole of the surface of the glass plate. May be polished by a polishing apparatus.
- a polishing apparatus including a moving polishing head that holds and conveys a glass plate and a plurality of polishing surface plates disposed below the polishing head is known. According to this polishing apparatus, the glass plate is conveyed by the moving polishing head, and the glass plate is sequentially polished by the plurality of polishing surface plates.
- the glass plate is rarely broken. In such a case, if the polishing process is continued while the glass plate is broken, the polishing pad is damaged by the broken glass piece. In addition, there is a problem that a subsequent glass plate is adversely affected during continuous polishing in which a plurality of glass plates are sequentially polished in the production process. For this reason, it is desired to detect the breakage of the glass plate at an early stage and quickly stop the polishing apparatus.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a crack detection device that detects a crack of a glass plate during polishing. This glass breakage detection device collects processing sound generated during polishing by the microphone 30 and extracts sound waves of a predetermined frequency (3 kHz or more) from the collected processing sound by a filter. The crack of the glass plate is determined by comparing the current sound wave level and the steady sound wave level in the past predetermined time from the present time.
- the crack detection apparatus of patent document 1 detects the crack of the glass plate under grinding
- the polishing pad is damaged as described above, and it takes several hours for the cleaning work to remove it. For this reason, the time required for the return operation and the polishing operation in the production process are interrupted, so that there is a disadvantage that the operation rate is lowered.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and is caused by damage to a polishing tool, cleaning work, and the like by detecting an initial stage of occurrence of abnormality such as cracking of an object to be polished during polishing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a polishing apparatus, a polishing method, and a glass plate manufacturing method capable of reducing the interruption time and suppressing the occurrence of unnecessary loss time.
- the present invention relates to a polishing apparatus that moves a polishing tool and an object to be polished while relatively pressing the polishing tool and the object to be polished while supplying a polishing liquid between the polishing tool and the object to be polished.
- An AE sensor attached to a polishing tool or a plate that supports an object to be polished and an output signal from the AE sensor when an elastic wave from the object to be polished is detected by the AE sensor.
- an abrading apparatus comprising an anomaly detecting section for detecting an anomaly of the apparatus and a warning means for issuing a warning when an abnormality of the object to be polished is detected by the anomaly detecting section.
- the present invention provides a polishing method in which a polishing tool and an object to be polished are relatively pressed and moved, and the object to be polished is polished by the polishing tool while supplying a polishing liquid between the polishing tool and the object to be polished.
- An abnormality detection unit based on an output signal from the AE sensor when an AE sensor is attached to a plate that supports the polishing tool or the object to be polished, and an elastic wave from the object to be polished is detected by the AE sensor.
- the polishing tool is a polishing pad and the object to be polished is a glass plate, it is suitable for polishing a mother glass substrate for LCD or OLED, for example.
- the polishing tool is a truing grindstone and the object to be polished is a polishing pad, it is suitable for a truing operation of the polishing pad.
- the present invention also provides a glass plate manufacturing method for processing a glass plate using the above polishing method.
- an elastic wave generated from a polishing glass plate or a polishing pad during truing passes through the polishing liquid and is always detected by an AE (acoustic emission) sensor, and the information is always output to an abnormality detection unit.
- a threshold value at which micro cracks such as cracks and chips have occurred and a proper truing efficiency threshold value of the polishing pad are set in advance.
- the output value from the AE sensor exceeds the threshold value during polishing, that is, when the abnormality detection unit detects that a small crack or chip such as a crack has occurred in the glass plate, or the output value from the AE sensor during truing.
- the warning means issues a warning.
- the control unit stops the polishing device at the same time as the warning is issued.
- This makes it possible to detect the occurrence of abnormality such as a reduction in truing efficiency and the initial stage of cracking of the glass plate. Therefore, it is possible to detect a crack in the glass plate and stop the polishing apparatus before the glass plate is shattered. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to minimize interruption time due to damage to the polishing pad, cleaning work, or the like.
- the processing after the abnormality detection can be substantially automated using a mechanical device and computer control without relying on human hands.
- the polishing pad and the glass plate are relatively complicated to rotate and slide, and are continuously operated while always generating a large mechanical vibration.
- generation of electromagnetic noise from the motor and power supply system also exists in the vicinity of the process. Therefore, the AE sensor in the present invention can detect low-level elastic waves and unavoidable noise components generated during normal polishing of the glass plate. Under such circumstances, detecting an elastic wave in a steady state as a case of a crack in a glass plate and judging that an abnormality has occurred may disturb the polishing process.
- the threshold value is set based on experimental values or experience values. Furthermore, it has an automatic threshold value adjustment function that uses a value obtained by adding an added value to the maximum value from the past maximum value record in the specified range, and it is possible to select which threshold value to use. A case where a signal component exceeding the selected threshold is detected is determined as “abnormal”. In the example of FIG. 3, 1.000 V is set as the threshold value. When the polishing apparatus is stably and steadily operated, the noise resistance design of the detection circuit, the signal amplification factor, and the like are set so that the noise level is 0.1 V or less.
- the present invention when a minute crack such as a crack or a chip occurs in the glass plate being polished, it is meaningful to detect it instantaneously and stop the polishing apparatus once. In the conventional method, the time spent for cleaning the polishing head and the polishing pad cannot be ignored. However, according to the present invention, since the glass plate is not crushed, the time spent for the cleaning work is short, and it is sufficient to be within several tens of minutes. Therefore, the interruption time of the polishing apparatus in the production process can be greatly shortened. In the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG.
- a microcrack or the like is a short part of a large mother glass substrate that is cracked within several centimeters to several tens of centimeters or penetrates the front and back of a glass plate. It refers to a state where a small number of cracks have occurred.
- an AE sensor is attached to a plate that holds the polishing pad on a polishing surface plate.
- the AE sensor can accurately detect the elastic wave generated during polishing.
- the polishing apparatus uses water or slurry as the polishing liquid, the metal part other than the insulated detection surface of the AE sensor is physically contacted with the plate held on the polishing surface plate or via water or slurry. If they are brought into electrical contact, electrical noise may enter the AE sensor, and an abnormal signal at a minute level may not be discriminated. Therefore, it is preferable to attach a resin (insulating) cover for waterproofing and insulation to the AE sensor.
- the detection surface of the AE sensor is not attached to the plate as it is, but is attached to the plate through a metal cover that is in contact with the detection surface of the AE sensor and covers substantially the whole from the viewpoint of waterproofing.
- a biasing means such as a spring that presses the detection surface of the AE sensor against the metal cover from the viewpoint of increasing the detection accuracy of occurrence of a minute level abnormality.
- the polishing apparatus for the glass plate after detecting the breakage of the glass plate by the abnormality detection unit.
- the flowchart is shown in FIG. That is, the glass plate crack detection device is set up (S1), the processing of the glass plate is started (S2), and when the fine crack of the glass plate is detected, the polishing device is stopped (S3) and the polishing part is checked. Perform (S4) and restore the polishing apparatus (S5).
- a control unit that performs overall control of the entire polishing apparatus may be configured to stop the polishing apparatus. This eliminates the need for human work such as monitoring of the polishing apparatus by the monitor. Moreover, since the influence on another glass plate can be prevented in the case of continuous grinding
- the AE sensor detects an elastic wave from a glass plate from a polishing liquid that has permeated the polishing pad via the plate.
- the polishing liquid it is preferable to use a slurry containing cerium oxide or silica when polishing a glass plate and to use water when truing a polishing pad.
- the polishing pad is usually made of urethane, and urethane itself is difficult to transmit elastic waves.
- the polishing liquid penetrates into the urethane polishing pad, the elastic wave from the glass plate is passed through the plate from this polishing liquid. Is reliably detected by the AE sensor.
- the means for supplying the polishing liquid a means for forming a large number of polishing liquid supply holes in the polishing surface plate and the plate and supplying the polishing liquid from these polishing liquid supply holes to the polishing pad is preferable. Thereby, water or slurry can be uniformly supplied to the whole polishing pad.
- the AE sensor is preferably formed on the plate and attached to the lower surface of the protruding piece of the plate that protrudes laterally from the polishing surface plate.
- the rotating polishing head can be prevented from colliding with the AE sensor.
- a through hole may be formed in the central portion of the polishing surface plate, and the detection surface of the AE sensor may be attached to the plate through the through hole. If the AE sensor is attached to the central portion of the polishing surface plate in this manner, the distance between the glass plate cracking position and the AE sensor is often shortened, so that the detection sensitivity of the elastic wave is improved. What is necessary is just to determine suitably the number of AE sensors to attach according to the magnitude
- the attachment positions of the AE sensors are preferably arranged substantially evenly with respect to the glass plate in order to improve detection sensitivity.
- the frequency band output from the AE sensor to the abnormality detection unit is set in a range of 100 to 200 kHz by a filter.
- Various devices such as a glass plate cutting device, a chamfering device, a conveying device, and a secondary polishing device are installed around the glass plate polishing device. It is necessary to eliminate elastic waves with frequencies below 100 kHz due to mechanical vibrations from these devices. In addition, it is necessary to eliminate elastic waves having a frequency exceeding 200 kHz due to electrical noise.
- the lower limit value of the frequency band output from the AE sensor to the abnormality detection unit is 100 kHz, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to the elastic wave of the mechanical vibration, and the upper limit value is 200 kHz. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to the elastic wave of the electrical noise.
- the upper limit value is 200 kHz. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to the elastic wave of the electrical noise.
- a filter may be incorporated in the AE sensor itself, an output from the AE sensor may be output to the abnormality detection unit via the filter.
- a discriminator is preferably used as the filter.
- the initial stage of occurrence of abnormality such as cracking of the workpiece being polished is detected by the AE sensor, so that the interruption time caused by damage to the polishing tool, the workpiece, cleaning, etc. Can be minimized.
- the continuous operation in the polishing process can be improved, and the efficiency of the production plant can be improved. Further, since occurrence of a minute level of abnormality can be detected at an early stage, damage to the polishing apparatus and the polishing pad can be prevented, and maintenance of the apparatus can be facilitated.
