Machine Integrated Measurement of Ultra Precision Machined Specular Non-Rotational Symmetrical Surfaces

Abstract:

In this paper, current results of a research project combining ultra precision machining and optical measurement are presented. The goal is to improve the quality of specular freeform surfaces manufactured by ultra precision slow slide servo turning by running appropriate correction cycles on the basis of machine integrated measurements. These measurements are conducted using the principle of Phase Measuring Deflectometry (PMD) in order to optically acquire full-field 3D-height data. For this purpose, a special setup the so called Mini PMD that can be operated within the limited installation space of an ultra precision machine tool has been designed and implemented. Results of machine integrated measurements of a specular non-rotational symmetrical surface are presented. Furthermore, using Mini PMD and a rotationally symmetric test surface, a complete correction cycle is demonstrated without the necessity of taking the workpiece off the machine for measurement.
