Computer-controlled polishing has introduced determinism into the finishing of high-quality surfaces, for example those used as optical interfaces. Computer-controlled polishing may overcome many of the disadvantages of traditional polishing techniques. The polishing procedure is computed in terms of the surface error-profile and the material removal characteristic of the polishing tool, the influence function. Determinism and predictability not only enable more economical manufacture but also facilitate considerably increased processing accuracy. However, there are several disadvantages that serve to limit the capabilities of computer-controlled polishing, many of these are considered to be issues associated with determination of the influence function. Magnetorheological finishing has been investigated and various new techniques and approaches that dramatically enhance the potential as well as the economics of computer-controlled polishing have been developed and verified experimentally. Recent developments and advancements in computer-controlled polishing are discussed. The generic results of this research may be used in a wide variety of alternative applications in which controlled material removal is employed to achieve a desired surface specification, ranging from surface treatment processes in technical disciplines, to manipulation of biological surface textures in medical technologies.

Abstract anzeigen

Magnetorheological finishing is a computer-controlled polishing technique that is used mainly in the field of high-quality optical lens production. The process is based on the use of a magnetorheological polishing fluid that is able, in a reversible manner, to change its viscosity from a liquid state to a solid state under the control of a magnetic field. This outstanding characteristic facilitates rapid control (in milliseconds) of the yield stress, and thus the pressure applied to the workpiece surface to be polished. A three-axis dynamometer was used to measure the forces acting between the magnetorheological fluid and the workpiece surface during determination of the material removal characteristic of the polishing tool (influence function). The results of a testing series using a QED Q22-X MRF polishing machine with a 50 mm wheel assembly show that the normal forces range from about 2 to 20 N. Knowledge of the forces is essential, especially when thin workpieces are to be polished and distortion becomes significant. This paper discusses, and gives examples of, the variation in the parameters experienced during a programme of experiments, and provides examples of the value of this work.

Material removal study at silicon nitride molds for the precision glass molding using MRF process

Current Developments in Lens Design and Optical Engineering IX, vol. 7060, no. August

DOI: 10.1117/12.794583

Abstract anzeigen

High-technology applications which are using high precision optic components in high and medium quantities have increased during recent years. One possibility to mass-produce e.g. such lenses is the precision glass molding (PGM) process. Especially for aspheric and free-form elements the PGM process has certain advantages. Premise is to manufacture accurate press molds, which have to feature smaller figure errors as the required lenses and may be made of materials, which are difficult to machine, like silicon nitride ceramics. These work pieces have to be machined in economical and steady process chains. However, due to the complex shapes and the corresponding accuracy an error dependent polishing is required. The Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF) as a high precision computer controlled polishing (CCP) technique is used and will further be presented in this work. To achieve the postulated demands a previous study of the material removal at selected machining parameters is needed. Changing machining parameters modify the removal, which is presented through values like the peak and volume removal rate. The value changes during the controlled variation of process parameters are described and discussed. Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF) provides one of the best methods to finish PGM molds that are relatively inaccurate to high precision in an economical, steady and efficient way. This work indicates the MRF removal selection and removal interference for the correction and finishing of precise silicon nitride molds for the precision glass molding.

A new approach to predict computer-controlled polishing results

Optical Manufacturing and Testing VI, San Diego, CA, USA

Abstract anzeigen

A novel approach to handle and quantify a computer controlled polishing process will be introduced. This approach will be compared to real data. This comparison indicates the correctness of this approach. Based on it a formula has been developed to predict the results of a computer controlled polishing process. The formula will be used to predict real polishing processes and the results will be compared to the real results. The limits when using this formula will be shown along with suggestions when the formula would be useful. This rough prediction of the computer controlled polishing results may be used to enhance the automation of a computer controlled polishing process. Also a way to improve the formula itself will be introduced. It is the opinion of the author that by further stabilizing of the whole computer controlled polishing process the whole system becomes more robust, the prediction more accurate and the whole system improves in reliability and the results become better.

Calculation of MRF influence functions

Optical Manufacturing and Testing VII, vol. 6671

Abstract anzeigen

Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) is a commonly used computer-controlled polishing (CCP) technique for high precision optical surfaces. The process is based on a magnetorheological abrasive fluid, which stiffens in a magnetic field and may be employed as a sub-aperture polishing tool. Dependent upon the surface error-profile of the workpiece and the polishing tool characteristic (influence function) an individual polishing procedure is calculated prior to processing. However, determination of the influence function remains a time consuming and laborious task. A user friendly and easy to use software tool has been developed, which enables rapid computation of MRF influence functions dependent on the MRF specific parameters, such as, magnetic field strength or fluid viscosity. The software supersedes the current cumbersome and time consuming determination procedure and thus results in considerably improved and more economical manufacture. In comparison with the conventional time period of typically 20 minutes to ascertain an influence function, it may now be calculated in a few seconds. An average quality improvement of 57% relating to the peak-valley (PV) value, and approximately 66% relating to the root-mean-square (RMS) of the surface error-profiles was observed during employment of the artificial computed influence functions for polishing.
