High speed barrel polishing device

A high speed polishing device, comprising a planetary ball mill adapted for polishing at a tilted angle, the planetary ball mill having:

• a revolution plate structured for rotation in a first direction around a revolution plate axis, wherein the revolution plate axis is perpendicular to a first side of the revolution plate;
• a plurality of polishing containers structured to receive components;
• and
• a plurality of polishing container holders coupled to the first side of the revolution plate, wherein each polishing container is secured inside a respective holder, wherein the coupling of the holders to the first side of the revolution plates rotates each respective polishing container in a second direction around a corresponding container axis, each of the corresponding container axes being parallel to the revolution plate axis, and each of the plurality of polishing containers comprising:
• an interior cavity having a first end proximate to the revolution plate and a second end, the interior cavity between the first end and the second end being defined by a smooth interior wall, and the interior cavity having an internal diameter that continuously varies with a non-linear gradual transition between the first end and the second end;
• wherein the first direction of rotation is opposite the second direction of rotation;
• and
• wherein the revolution plate is coupled to a support member proximate to the revolution plate axis and rotated by a rotation member within the planetary ball mill, the support member having a support member axis extending therethrough that is not parallel to the revolution plate axis, thereby enabling rotation of the polishing containers at a tilted angle defined between the support member axis and the revolution plate axis.

A polishing container used within a high speed polishing device, comprising:

• an interior cavity having a first end and a second end, the interior cavity between the first end and the second end being defined by a smooth interior wall, and the interior cavity having an internal diameter that continuously varies with a non-linear gradual transition between the first end and the second end;
• wherein the polishing container is secured inside a polishing container holder, the holder being coupled to a rotating member within the high speed polishing device, wherein the rotating member rotates in a first direction of rotation, wherein the coupling of the holder to the rotating member causes the polishing container to be rotated by the high speed polishing device in a second direction around a container axis;
• and
• wherein the first direction of rotation is opposite the second direction of rotation.
