Study on Precision Grinding Technique for Large Size Optical Aspheric Lens

Abstract

Large size optical aspheric lens is an important component in optical engineering. Aiming at the demand of precision processing for optical aspheric lens, this paper develops a precision grinding technique for large size optical aspheric lens. Based on precision surface grinding machine (MGK7160), grating-type parallel grinding method is put forward to realize grinding paths planning for optical aspheric lens. An on-machine measurement system is built to obtain surface measurement and evaluation after grinding. In order to ensure machining precision and efficiency, a diamond truer which self-developed is adopted to precision dress for arc diamond wheel. Finally, the experiment of precision grinding and error compensation validates machining accuracy for large size optical aspheric lens.
