Abstract Robot polishing is increasingly being used in the production of high-end glass workpieces such as astronomy mirrors, lithography lenses, laser gyroscopes or high-precision coordinate measuring machines. The quality of optical components such as lenses or mirrors can be described by shape errors and surface roughness. Whilst the trend towards sub nanometre level surfaces finishes and features progresses, matching both form and finish coherently in complex parts remains a major challenge. With increasing optic sizes, the stability of the polishing process becomes more and more important. If not empirically known, the optical surface must be measured after each polishing step. One approach is to mount sensors on the polishing head in order to measure process-relevant quantities. On the basis of these data, machine learning algorithms can be applied for surface value prediction. Due to the modification of the polishing head by the installation of sensors and the resulting process influences, the first machine learning model could only make removal predictions with insufficient accuracy. The aim of this work is to show a polishing head optimised for the sensors, which is coupled with a machine learning model in order to predict the material removal and failure of the polishing head during robot polishing. The artificial neural network is developed in the Python programming language using the Keras deep learning library. It starts with a simple network architecture and common training parameters. The model will then be optimised step-by-step using different methods and optimised in different steps. The data collected by a design of experiments with the sensor-integrated glass polishing head are used to train the machine learning model and to validate the results. The neural network achieves a prediction accuracy of the material removal of 99.22%. Article highlights First machine learning model application for robot polishing of optical glass ceramics The polishing process is influenced by a large number of different process parameters. Machine learning can be used to adjust any process parameter and predict the change in material removal with a certain probability. For a trained model,empirical experiments are no longer necessary Equipping a polishing head with sensors, which provides the possibility for 100% control

To improve the efficiency of flat optics fabrication, a global correction method with the patterned polishing pad is developed in this paper. Through creating grooves on a polishing pad, the contact pressure distribution on the optics surface can be adjusted to change the material removal rate (MRR) distribution during polishing. Using the patterned pad, the selective removal ability of the polishing process is greatly enhanced. The predictability and stability of the MRR distribution are the preconditions to efficiently implement the proposed global correction method. Relying on the MRR distribution prediction method proposed and validated in this paper, the pad pattern can be designed based on the original surface figure of the workpieces. The designed groove pattern is created on the polishing pad using the custom-developed equipment. Then, the optical glass is polished on the designed pad with the optimized polishing time. A flat optical glass sample (Φ 100 mm) is polished with the global correction method to show its feasibility and advantage. The correction instance shows that the peak-to-valley (PV) value of the surface profile (with 3 mm edge exclusion) dropped from 1.17 µm to 0.2 µm in 14 min using a polyurethane pad with two ring grooves. Comparing with the conventional polishing process, which usually takes hours or days, the global correction method proposed in this paper can improve the efficiency of the optics manufacturing significantly.

Thinning Process

One important problem in determination of precipitate particle size is the effect of preferential thinning during TEM specimen preparation. Figure 1a schematically represents the original polydispersed Ni3Al precipitates in the Ni rich matrix. The three possible type surface profiles of TEM specimens, which result after electrolytic thinning process are illustrated in Figure 1b. c. & d. These various surface profiles could be produced by using different polishing electrolytes and conditions (i.e. temperature and electric current). The matrix-preferential-etching process causes the matrix material to be attacked much more rapidly than the second phase particles. Figure 1b indicated the result. The nonpreferential and precipitate-preferential-etching results are shown in Figures 1c and 1d respectively.
