High Speed Machining Method of Large-Size Precision Freeform Mirror

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study describes the non-rotationally symmetric diamond turning (XZC turning) for producing large-size precision freeform mirror. This is a high speed machining method as compared with the traditional XYZ diamond milling or fly-cutting. Moreover, the application of this method is a key factor in the development of the ultra-precision light-weight freeform mirror for outer space use. This report introduces these cutting-edge approaches.
