Lapping Aspheric Workpiece Using Bending Method

A new method is proposed that high speed lapping aspheric surface workpiece using lapping tool by means of bending because there processing difficult, In this study, the principle of high speed lapping has been presented, the mathematical model for the lapping tool has been established, and the equidistance curve error of the lapping tool has been analyzed. The results of the experiment indicate that the forming precision of the lapping tool is high using this method, the surface precision of the workpiece reaches micron grade, furthermore, the aspheric surface workpiece can been machined using this method in lapping, and that it can meet the need of medium precision of machining the aspheric surface workpiece. The experiment result indicates that the the lapping tool shape precision is high, the lapping error of the workpiece is 0.0108mm, and lapping efficiency is high and the cost is low. This aspheric lapping method has incomparable superiority of other processing methods.
