Research on the Optimized Tool-Path Planning of Computer Controlled Optical Surfacing

Abstract:

Computer controlled optical surfacing (CCOS) is widely used in aspheric optical lenses fabrication because of their high convergence rate on surface based on deterministic removal processes since 1963. As an important part of CCOS techniques, reasonable tool-path would increase the polishing speed, decrease the processing time and then improve the efficiency of polishing. Optimized policy combined with improved Prim algorithm is presented in this paper based on the study of the characteristic of aspheric polishing and the tool-paths in common use. The simulated results show that the length of tool-path is reduced so as to decrease the processing time and increase the working efficiency.
