Development of an Aspheric Surface Machine Tool

摘要

With the development of technology, we have more pressing requirement to the high-powered and large-calibre aspheric optical elements. Then we have higher demand to the relevant machine tool and mechanical processes. This paper introduces processes to design a large-calibre aspheric surface machine tool with both grinding and polishing. The machine tool configuration and the polishing tool configuration are presented. The processes of the aspheric optical elements are analyzed. The result shows that the machine tool can meet the demand of aspheric optical elements.
