High Precision Grinding of Large Fresnel Lens Mold

Article Preview

Abstract:

Demand for glass Fresnel lenses is increasing in solar panel manufacture in order to increase power efficiency. Glass lenses are usually moulded using a glass moulding method with tungsten carbide moulds. In this study, large Fresnel lens moulds made of tungsten carbide are tested to be ground by a simultaneous 2-axis (Y, Z) controlled grinding method. The resinoid bonded diamond wheel is trued with a rare metal truer to increase the sharpness of the wheel edge. In the grinding test of the tungsten carbide mould, a form accuracy of less than 0.8 μm P-V and surface roughness of 18 nm Rz are obtained, and it is clarified that the proposed grinding method is useful for Fresnel grinding.
