Abstract (en)

A surface polishing apparatus is provided with an upper surface plate elevating mechanism that can use a small elevating mechanism to simply and accurately raise and lower an upper surface plate 3 and stop it at a specified position even if the total weight of the upper surface plate, including associated equipment, is large. A plurality of air cylinders 15 constantly support part of the load of the upper surface plate assembly 3A, which includes the upper surface plate 3 and a surface plate supporting frame 5. A servo motor 16 is used to raise and lower the upper surface plate assembly 3A and to stop it at a specified position. <IMAGE>
