Abstract:
An optical fiber end polishing machine, comprising:a turntable moving its center along a circular orbit which has a smaller diameter than that of an autorotation disk and the center of which is a central axial line of the autorotation disk, thus revolving both around the central axial line and on it own axis in accordance with an autorotation of the autorotation disk; a holding member for holding an optical fiber to be polished by a polishing film arranged on an upper plane of the turn table; a control device for controlling an autorotation motor of the turntable and a revolution motor thereof; and a memory for storing a control program which allows the control device to execute predetermined polishing steps, wherein the control device calls out the control program and allows the autorotation motor and the revolution motor to operate in accordance with the control program.
