Abstract:Slow tool servo diamond turning has widespread application in fabricating freeform optics. Previous studies are focused on the methods of the tool path generation and verification of zero-rake-angle tools. However, these methods are unsuitable for non-zero-rake tools that are used for machining hard-and-brittle materials. This paper presents a universal location-point-drive tool path generation method, which caters to arbitrary rake angle tools and the steady X movement feature, and the corresponding universal… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
