MC Batch Process Polishing Films

5.5 x 5.5 inch Sheet; Grit 1, 9 µm; Silica, WA, Diamond; SC/UPC, FC/UPC, LC/UPC Connectors

NTT Advanced Technology’s MC series are polishing films that can do batch processing from the resin removal up until the final polishing by utilizing the ATP-3000 polishing machine’s unique linear motion polishing method that doesn’t require conventional multi-stage polishing processes. The MC series enables everything from adhesive removal to the finish polishing to be done in one step by putting together all the necessary films for all polishing in one polishing film. By placing a buff film between each of the polishing films, the polishing and inter-process cleaning are done at one time as a batch. Customizing is available for various types of ferrule.

In conventional automated polishing lines, the same number of polishing machines as the polishing processes was needed. However, by combining the unique polishing trajectory of the ATP-3000 and the MC-Film placed in a direct line from adhesive removal until final finishing, NTT Advanced Technology has realized the whole process in a single polishing machine.

Since changing polishing film and cleaning operations between processes are not needed, there is a measured shortening in polishing time. Also, because automation can be done with a single polishing machine, space is also saved. The cleaning work and attaching and detaching of polishing films normally required between processes that can easily affect the polish shape and cause end face scratching are no longer needed, achieving a workability with no special skills required.
