Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0649706A1] In a rotary lapping and polishing head (110, 210), of the type comprising grinding segments (32) operating tangentially and oscillating about axes arranged radially with respect to the axis of rotation of the said head (110, 210), the head being used for the processing of slabs or panels consisting of hard stone, such as granites and similar ceramic materials, use is made of means capable of compensating the variation in the mutual position of the grinding segments (32) so as to reduce imbalances associated with centrifugal forces applied to the said grinding segments (32) as a result of the variation in their mutual position. For a first partial compensation, use is made of an equal number of grinding segments (32) moved in pairs in mutually opposite directions, while for a second substantially total compensation use is made of grinding elements (32) moved in threes also in mutually opposite directions. <IMAGE>
