Areas of application: polishing of precise optics, including convex and slight concave spheres and aspheres. Description: Process joins the minimal surface roughness and subsurface damage which is well known for MAM with figuring ability. Figuring is performed by scanning surface (previously measured) wcith small removal spot according to calculated kinematics. Kinematics is calculated using specialy developed deconvolution algorithm. A new type of magnetic inductor based on permanent xmagnets can perform xmachining of nonferromagnetic parts of arbitrary size, not jsut thin plates. Soft magnetic abrasive instrument adapts to the macroscopuc shape of surface to be polished. Current progress: The main process' components were developed. The process has been xtested on flat surfaces. A simple experimental machine with 2-axes positioning system was developed. Achived surface roughness is 1.4 nm Ra for BK7 optical glass. Achived maximum initial MRR is 5 /min at spot maximum for BK7 optical glass.

diameter of polished parts - under 200 mm; time of polishing, min - 215 power input, kWt - 1.5 overall dimensions of setup L x B x H, mm : 700 x 600 x 500 mass of setup - 80 kg
Developed by Polimag
Polimag has developed the technology and created the samples of the equipment for the polishing in the magnetic field of flat precision surfaces of the details from different materials. Finishing magnetic-abrasive polishing of:
plates of silicon mono-crystals (substrate of integrated circuits), optical glasses, fluorides of barium, calcium and magnesium (optically active elements of power laser devices)
provides the formation of surface nanorelief with the roughness height less than 20 angstrom, that corresponds to the best world samples. Back to top
