[0021] The clamping assembly 2 includes a supporting platform 21, the top of which is provided with an adjustable base 22, the top of which is provided with a mounting frame 23, the mounting frame 23 is used to place the crystal boat, the base 22 is provided with an opening, and two quick clamps 24 are provided on both sides of one end of the mounting frame 23.

[0022] In this embodiment, the wafer boat 6 to be polished is placed in the clamping assembly 2 for fixing, and the robot arm 1 (usually a five-axis robot arm) using the prior art is started to drive the arc surface polishing assembly 3 to polish the arc surface of the column of the fixed wafer boat 6;

[0023] The base 22 can slide on the support platform 21 for adjustment and is fixed to the support platform 21 by bolts. The mounting frame 23 is used to place the wafer boat 6 and to install other clamping tools;

[0024] The quick clamps 24 are located on both sides of one end of the mounting frame 23 . When the wafer boat 6 is placed in the mounting frame 23 , the end of the flat plate of the wafer boat 6 close to the robot arm 1 contacts the mounting frame 23 . The quick clamps 24 are pulled to fix the wafer boat 6 in the mounting frame 23 .

[0025] Furthermore, the arc surface grinding assembly 3 includes a rotating seat 31 and a grinding belt 32. The rotating seat 31 is connected to the end of the robot arm 1 through a flange transmission.
