The customer specializes in manufacturing precision polished stainless steel plates used during the production of ultra-thin copper foil.
These products are widely supplied to major semiconductor and electronics manufacturers and are used throughout the PCB and semiconductor manufacturing process.
Typical applications include:
Stainless steel carrier plates
Heating plates
Precision backing plates
Polishing plates
Copper foil production equipment
With the rapid growth of AI, semiconductor packaging and high-density PCB manufacturing, demand for ultra-thin copper foil has increased significantly, creating new expansion opportunities for suppliers throughout the industry.
To meet the growing production demand, the customer decided to expand capacity by investing in a second automated polishing line.
Unlike conventional decorative stainless steel, semiconductor-grade polishing plates are commonly manufactured from SUS630 and SUS450 stainless steel.
These precipitation-hardening stainless steels offer:
Extremely high surface hardness
Excellent dimensional stability
Superior wear resistance
Long service life
However, these advantages also make them considerably more difficult to grind and polish.
The production line must simultaneously achieve:
High material removal rate
Stable grinding pressure
Consistent surface roughness
Excellent flatness
Long abrasive belt life
High production efficiency
For equipment manufacturers, processing these high-hardness materials represents one of the most demanding applications in stainless steel surface finishing.
Building upon the successful operation of the customer's first production line, LEBON developed a significantly upgraded solution for the second project.
Key improvements include:
The new generation control system provides more intuitive operation, easier parameter adjustment and improved production consistency.
Equipment layout and structural design were optimized to reduce maintenance time while improving accessibility for daily inspection and servicing.
The upgraded coolant circulation system improves grinding stability while reducing water consumption and helping maintain consistent processing temperatures.
A redesigned waste collection system enables more efficient removal of grinding debris, helping maintain a cleaner production environment and improving long-term equipment reliability.
By optimizing grinding pressure control, abrasive belt operation and machine rigidity, the production line delivers stable performance when processing high-hardness stainless steel.
After installation and commissioning by LEBON engineers in Korea, the upgraded production line achieved the customer's production targets successfully.
Compared with the previous generation equipment, the new line provides:
Higher production capacity
Better operational stability
Improved surface consistency
Easier daily maintenance
More intelligent operation
Lower operating costs
Improved coolant and waste management
The customer's continued investment demonstrates confidence in both the performance of the equipment and the long-term partnership with LEBON.
As semiconductor devices become smaller, faster and more powerful, manufacturers of copper foil and precision stainless steel carrier plates continue raising their quality standards.
This trend is creating increasing demand for high-precision grinding and polishing lines capable of processing high-hardness stainless steel materials such as SUS630 and SUS450.
For equipment suppliers, success depends not only on achieving superior surface quality, but also on improving automation, equipment stability, energy efficiency and long-term operating reliability.
LEBON continues to develop advanced grinding and polishing technologies to support customers in semiconductor, precision electronics and high-end metal surface finishing industries worldwide.
