A grinding device includes a drivable backing pad and a flexible grinding element held on the backing pad by suctioning and is provided with abrasive grains. The grinding device is designed such that the grinding element, in the form of a grinding belt, protrudes circumferentially with respect to the backing pad, the abrasive grains covering the entire area of the grinding element.

An apparatus and a method which can perform different processes, such as polishing and cleaning, on a surface of a substrate, such as a wafer, with a single processing head, and can process the surface of the substrate efficiently are disclosed. The apparatus includes: a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate and rotate the substrate; and a processing head configured to bring scrubbing tapes into contact with a first surface of the substrate to process the first surface. The processing head includes: pressing members arranged to press the scrubbing tapes against the first surface of the substrate; position switching devices configured to be able to switch positions of the pressing members between processing positions and retreat positions; tape feeding reels configured to feed the scrubbing tapes, respectively; and tape take-up reels configured to take up the scrubbing tapes, respectively.

A method for removing a flaw on a treated, finally painted surface by grinding involves, after the flaw has been detected, moving a flexible abrasive sheet to the surface and pressing it against the flaw to be machined in such a way that the flaw is detected by a sensor system, which is operatively connected to a robotic arm carrying the grinding plate. The abrasive sheet, which is designed as an abrasive belt, is fed to the grinding plate and the abrasive sheet being pressed against the flaw.

A wood sander for sanding a target object. The wood sander comprises a frame, an upper assembly, a lower assembly, a drive system and a plurality of sandpaper sheets. The drive system is configured for pulling the plurality of sandpaper sheets through a path. The path is configured to cause the plurality of sandpaper sheets to touch a portion of the target object as the drive system rotates the plurality of sandpaper sheets. The upper assembly comprises the drive system, and the plurality of sandpaper sheets. The lower assembly comprises a platform configured to hold the target object. The upper assembly and the lower assembly are attached to and supported by the frame.

This disclosure relates to a belt grinder includes frame and first grinding assembly. The first grinding assembly includes transmission roller set, grinding belt and adjusting assembly. The transmission roller set includes driving roller and driven roller. Both the driving roller and the driven roller are rotatably disposed on the frame. The grinding belt is installed over the driving roller and the driven roller. The adjusting assembly includes rotatable component and contact rollers. The rotatable component is rotatably disposed on the frame. Rotation axis of the rotatable component is parallel to rotation axis of the driving roller. The contact rollers are rotatably disposed on the rotatable component. Contact rollers are different in shape. The rotatable component is rotatable with respect to the frame so as to force one of the contact rollers to contact or to be separated from the grinding belt.
