Abstract: A system for processing head flexure assemblies employs lapping and edge blending means, interposed with washing, drying and heating equipment. The head assembly processing is implemented within a compact U-shaped arrangement. The lapping means and edge blending means incorporate precision alignment and securing components to ensure that the lapping and edge blending processes are accurately and expeditiously performed. The equipment and tooling used are contained in a relatively small area and insure an increased production rate and yield with high quality head assemblies lapped and edge blended to precise specifications.
