Modeling and Simulation of Removal Function for Dual-axis Wheel Polishing

Abstract

Modern optical manufacturing techniques, such as stress disc polishing, bonnet polishing, magnetorheological finishing, and ion beam finishing, suffer from edge effects or low removal efficiency. To solve the above problems, this paper mainly studies dual-axis wheel polishing technology. According to the Preston equation combined with Hertz contact theory and kinematics, a theoretical removal function model of dual-axis wheel polishing is established. Then, the removal function shape and removal efficiency under different revolution-to-rotation speed ratios are simulated. From the simulation results, it can be concluded that the removal function of the dual-axis wheel polishing technology in this paper is Gauss type when the revolution-to-rotation speed ratio is 10:1 or less. With the increase of rotation ratio, the efficiency of the removal function is higher. This paper establishes a theoretical foundation for the design of the dual-axis wheel polishing device.
