    摘要: A pad carrier assembly that includes a coupling base and a pad carrier coupled to the coupling base, the coupling base and the pad carrier are configured to support a buffing pad by a mechanical clamping mechanism. Embodiments of the present disclosure will provide a method of supporting a buffing pad in a horizontal pre-clean module. The method includes mechanically clamping or retaining a buffing pad on a peripheral edge of the buffing pad, wherein the coupling base and the pad carrier are coupled and disposed in a horizontal pre-clean module, and supporting the buffing pad and preventing the buffing pad from sagging, by use of one or more pad retaining features.
