3.3 THRUST (POLISHING PRESSURE) SETTING
The polishing pressure (thrust) is set according to the polishing step and the number
of ferrules mounted in the holding jig. The polishing pressure is set by moving the
weight on the weight arm.
Step 1 Set the weight at one of the
three set positions for the
weight on the weight arm.
When you move the weight
along the weight arm, you can
feel the weight click at the set
positions. Do not set the
weight inbetween the set
positions.
Step 2 The weight set position to be
used depends on the polishing
set up and number of ferrules
mounted in the holding jig.
Refer to Table 3-1.
NOTE
If you have less than six ferrules
to polish, use dummy and/or
unusable ferrules so there are at
least six ferrules mounted in the
holding fixture. This is so that
the ferrules will get polished at
an equal quality level. Refer to
section 4.1.
