| Zusammenfassung: | A system and method are described for processing a slider (e.g., one to be used in a disk drive apparatus). Corners of the sliders are abraded while still a part of a row of sliders in a part-off operation. By abrading the corners of the sliders, head slap events between the slider and the recording media result in less damage to the recording media and less particulate matter from the slider being left on the recording media, improving data integrity for the recording media. |
