DYW420 Screen Buffing Polisher
Brush buffing polishing has become the most commonly used process for polishing smartphone screens in the past decade. Additionally, this technique is also applied to the edge polishing of optical products, smart watch screen and other arch-edge products. It has gained favor among many manufacturers due to the durability of its polishing brush, which last significantly longer than those used in other processes at the same efficiency.

Brief Introduction
The Screen Buffing system distinguishes itself from others. It's particularly effective for buffing smartphone screens and back plates, as well as removing scratches. Though it employs the same abrasives and slurry as flat polishing, its unique feature lies in the distinct plate patterns bristling with many hair-like abrasives. This series shines when it comes to polishing curved surfaces. To achieve the desired arch accuracy, such as roundness, the workpiece must adhere to specified tolerance levels before the process begins.

Engineering Intent
With the widespread adoption of curved edge designs for screens and frames in modern smart devices, we have adjusted our processing formula and updated our polishing pads to buffing brush forms to accommodate this change. This allows the buffing brush to specifically target and finely polish half-circular and quarter-circular arcs. Utilizing the brush's forward and reverse functions, in conjunction with our processing formula, effectively reduces the occurrence of orange peel effects, ensuring a high-quality polishing result.

1. How It Works
The buffing polisher doesn't rely on applying pressure to achieve a polished finish. Instead, it uses high-speed rotation to swiftly glide over the surface of the workpiece. When in use, the brush spins towards worktable, perfectly molding to and covering the curves of workpieces. During the process, the polishing liquid is pre-fed through the brush to the polishing area. Then, both the brush and the worktable undergo simultaneous forward and reverse, as well as concurrent rotational movements. This approach enhances the efficiency of the polishing process and reduces the occurrence of orange peel texture.

2. Clamping
The method of clamping the workpiece is primarily determined by the workpiece's characteristics. For polishing bare screens, vacuum is generally used, while for repairing entire smartphones, the phone is placed in an independent fixture and sealed with blue UV glue before being placed on the worktable. At the same time, the angle of the product's curved edge also determines the clamping method: if it's a quarter-circle arc (commonly known as 2.5D), the product is placed flat on the worktable. If it's a half-circular arc (known as 3D), the product needs to be positioned on its side so the brush can fully cover the arc edge. Typically, half-circular arc products require four processes to polish all four sides.
