Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to a method for grinding a wire and an automatic grinding method thereof, and more particularly, to a side-by-side type of a large-size liquid crystal display having a trimming plate (4) Research and its automated grinding methods. [Prior Art] In today's liquid crystal display industry, 'in response to the increase in the size of the display panel, the thin glass base is made to make it lighter. It uses a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) device. The thickness of the glass substrate. The chemical mechanical polishing apparatus is configured to apply a grinding disc to the glass substrate to rotate the crucible (four) force, and (4) to achieve the thickness of the thinned glass substrate. After grinding the glass substrate for a certain period of time, the polished surface has little wear scarring due to grinding, and the surface is farther away from the center of the grinding surface, and is closer to the center of the grinding surface. The surface is more worn out so that the polished surface forms a bowl of curvature. At this time, if the polishing is not properly trimmed, the unevenness of the flatness of the surface of the polished glass substrate will be caused. • The chemical mechanical polishing device used in the grinding of wafers in the semiconductor industry is equipped with a wafer adsorption disk and a trimming ship. Therefore, for the purpose of _ wafer complete planarization, the radius of the abrasive surface must be larger than the diameter of the wafer adsorption disk. However, if the concept of a chemical mechanical polishing machine is used to polish a glass substrate of the liquid crystal display industry, since the size of the glass substrate is much larger than the size of the wafer, it is necessary to increase the area of the polishing disk, which will result in a grinding machine. The volume of the table is more multiplied. Nowadays, in the grinding device, the grinding surface of the grinding disc will form a bowl-shaped arc after a certain period of grinding process. However, the grinding device for polishing the substrate is not equipped with the 6 1325602 design of the conditioning disc. Therefore, it is necessary to trim the grinding. The grinding of the disc (4) is to manually disassemble the grinding disc, place the trimming disc on the grinding surface and then rotate the grinding joint to drive the trimming and tilting operation for the trimming process. The towel is flattened due to the area of the polished surface of the face. The new grinding surface is completely flattened, and it is repaired by the working method (4) to other unflattened areas, or manually (4) grinding the center of the surface, bypassing, moving the conditioning disc, and repeating the operation of the above rotation to flatten the entire surface. . However, it is more likely that the repairing process will not achieve the flatness (unif_ity) requirement of the surface. Therefore, the trimming process of the prior art can not shorten the dressing process time and improve the process efficiency, and may not be able to Achieve the complete flattening of the abrasive surface. In the above method, the trim disk does not have a specific fixed size. When the dressing disc used is larger than or equal to the spread surface, since the dressing_fine grinding surface area is large, that is, it has high dressing efficiency, but it is easy to grind too much thickness, resulting in unnecessary consumption of the grinding disc. However, as in the prior art, a trimming disc having a diameter smaller than the radius of the grinding surface is used, and since the trimming surface is in contact with a small area of the grinding surface, the thickness of the grinding treatment can be accurately controlled, but the finishing time is inevitably consumed. As described above, it is easy to cause a fine step difference in the polished surface. In summary, it can be seen that the grinding device of the large-size glass substrate can not increase the productivity and yield of the polishing process due to the modification time, the size of the conditioning disk and the dressing method. . Therefore, it is necessary to provide a polishing apparatus and a trimming method thereof. When applied to the polishing of a large-sized glass substrate, in addition to effectively reducing the dressing time and the process efficiency, the flatness of the polished surface can be further improved. 7 1325602 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a polishing apparatus comprising: a grinding disc, a trimming machine. & Another object of the present invention is to provide the above-mentioned automatic research and sealing method of the research and development of the county, which can effectively reduce the labor time and manpower required for repairing the polished surface. The cultivating system of the present invention comprises - grinding and repairing, the napkin has a grinding surface and the conditioning disc has a trimming surface, the diameter of which is between the diameters of the grinding surfaces λ/5 and 2/ 3 _ between 'and the operation of the present invention, the entire cross-machine grinding face towel ribs, trimming the polished surface 〇 the automatic grinding method of the present invention comprises a touch-on grinding device; using the conditioning disk to perform the first - a trimming action; performing a second trimming action on the polishing surface by using the trimming disk, wherein the second trimming action comprises swinging across the center of the polishing surface to achieve complete planarization of the polished surface. According to the polishing apparatus and the automated polishing method of the present invention, when applied to a polishing apparatus for a large-sized glass substrate, in addition to being effective in reducing the dressing time and improving the process efficiency, the flatness of the polished surface can be further improved. [Embodiment] Please refer to Fig. 1' for a first trimming diagram of automated polishing according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the polishing apparatus of the present invention comprises an abrasive disk having a polishing surface, a conditioning disk having a trimming surface and in contact with the polishing surface. As described above, the grinding disc 101 is worn out due to grinding, which causes the grinding surface 1〇la to generate a slight unevenness. First of all, 'Repair 8 1325602, the whole plate 1〇2 is placed on the top of the Grinding® 1Gla, and the Piano® is placed on the polished surface 1Gla to flatten the special (4) domain 1G, and then the grinding is carried out by the rotation of the 1Q1 (10) The operation of the rotation causes the rotation direction of the conditioning disk 102 to be the same as the rotation direction of the grinding disk 101, i.e., as shown in the head 104, which is a counterclockwise direction of rotation. Since the first trimming operation is performed on the special surface K of the polishing surface leg, after the first trimming operation is completed, the non-specific region and the flattened surface of the polished surface 101a are not flattened. The specific area after treatment is compared to 'the two will have a difference in height, resulting in a fine section difference in the abrasive surface 1()la. In the first embodiment, although the operation of the rotation of the conditioning disk 1〇2 is performed by the grinding disk 101, the present invention is not related thereto. The operation of the repairing lG2 can also be - active, powered rotation 'and the direction of rotation is opposite to the direction of rotation of the grinding disc 1 〇 1 to shorten the dressing time. Referring to Figure 2, there is illustrated a second trimming illustration of automated grinding in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the conditioning disk 102 performs the operation of simultaneously performing a swing, that is, the swing shown by the arrow 2〇1, in addition to performing the same operation as the rotation of the first trimming step. Direction, the operation of the swing is along the grinding surface lGia - the new rail _ movement, the trajectory of the traverse across the surface of the polishing surface 101a towel c 1G3 ' cover the entire grinding surface 1Qla, the age of the grinding surface 101a due to the first trimming action A slight difference is produced to achieve complete planarization of the abrasive surface 1〇la. Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B ′ for illustrating the effect of using the different sizes of the conditioning disk 102 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The polishing surface 1 ( ) shown in the figure is performed on the glass substrate. After the grinding-(d), the surface loss from the center of the grinding surface is less than the distance 9 1325602. The surface near the center of the grinding surface 101a is more worn, which causes the grinding surface 1〇la to form a bowl-shaped arc. Arrow 201 represents the direction of the wobble as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3A, when the diameter of the conditioning disk 101 is larger than 2/3 of the diameter of the polishing surface 10a, the polishing surface 101a which is in contact with the trimming surface i〇2a has a large area, and although it has high dressing efficiency, it is easy. The excessive thickness 301 of the grinding disc 1〇1 causes unnecessary consumption of the grinding disc 1〇1. However, as in the conventional technique, when the diameter of the conditioning disk 102 is less than 1/5 of the diameter of the polishing surface i,ia, as shown in FIG. 38, since the area of the polishing surface 2〇la contacted by the conditioning surface 102a is small, It is more accurate to control the thickness 301' of the grinding process, but it inevitably consumes more dressing time and, as mentioned above, easily causes a k difference in the grinding surface. Therefore, if the diameter of the conditioning disk 1〇2 is set to be between the polishing surface 1〇1& the diameter between 1/5 and 2/3, especially preferably 1/4 of the diameter of the polishing surface l〇la, in addition to having the above The advantages of both, and can minimize the shortcomings of both. 4A to 4E are schematic views showing the embossing of the trimming surface j 〇 2a according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as riding, engraving _ includes the no-load shape shown in Fig. 4A, the grid shape shown in Fig. 4C, the radial shape shown in Fig. 4C, the doughnut shape shown in Fig. 4D, and the windmill shape shown in Fig. 4E. . In the embodiment of the present invention, the towel (4) _ top-shaped one of the five kinds of miscellaneous 'used to perform the grinding surface 1Gla's thief s' its towel repairing face material f can be diamond, not recorded steel, age gold And the kind of cast iron, when the windmill is sensitive, you can get better finishing results. Referring to Figure 5, a flow chart of the automated polishing method of the present invention is illustrated. First, a grinding device is provided. The polishing device has a trimming disk in addition to the grinding disk for grinding the glass substrate. After the grinding disc has been subjected to a long-time grinding operation, the grinding ability, the flatness, and the uniformity of the 13256〇2 are deteriorated. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a trimming process to maintain the processing capability of the grinding disc. The dressing disc is placed on the grinding surface, and the trimming surface and the grinding surface are brought into contact with each other. In step S501, a first trimming operation is performed on the polishing surface by using the conditioning disc, and the first trimming operation is a rotation operation. In step S502, a second trimming operation is performed on the polishing surface by using the conditioning disc, and the second trimming operation is an operation including simultaneously rotating and swinging across the center of the grinding surface to eliminate the grinding surface due to the first conditioning disc. The subtle difference is such that the polished surface achieves a complete flattening. The second trimming operation is ended, and the conditioning disc is removed. At this time, the polishing surface has been trimmed to a flat surface, and the properties such as polishing ability, flatness, and uniformity are restored. According to the automatic dressing method of the present invention, after the end of the first trimming operation, the center and the edge of the grinding surface are respectively measured, and the difference between the center and the edge is measured to be between 30 μπι and 40 μπι, after the end of the second trimming operation, Re-measurement of the portion of the center and the edge of the abrasive surface whose step difference has been reduced to 10 μm is to use the first trimming action and the second trimming action to achieve a nearly complete flattening of the polished surface. According to the above measurement, it is found that if the step difference is reduced to within ΙΟμηη, then the dressing time of the second trimming action is preferably doubled for the first trimming action. In other words, if the polished surface is to be completely flattened, the time required for the first trimming action and the second trimming action is better than that of the big 1:1 to 1:3, especially when i: 2 For the best. According to the polishing apparatus and the automated polishing method of the present invention, when applied to a large-sized glass substrate, the polishing apparatus can be further modified in addition to the 卩01 which can effectively reduce the trimming process and improve the process efficiency. The flatness of the polished surface (resistance). Further, the JL member object of the polishing apparatus and the automatic 1325602 polishing method provided by the present invention is not limited to the glass substrate. It is necessary to improve the flatness of the polished surface (unifc_ty) ‘grain grinding scale (4) Grinding process (4) 胄 is applicable. In view of the above, the present invention has been described as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not intended to limit the invention to anyone skilled in the art, and without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, Therefore, the scope of the present invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
