In order to do the precision grinding of optical aspheric lens, it is essential to achieve
high quality surface roughness. Experiments show that the contacting area between the wheel and
workpiece in a grinding process is critical to influence the surface roughness for a fine grit size
resin bonded wheel. The precision grinding are performed with BK7 optical lens. This paper deals
with the grinding of an aspheric surface optical lens by diamond wheel. This study also compares
each machining parameter (work spindle speed, wheel spindle speed, feedrate, etc.) in rough
grinding, fine grinding and polishing on the aspheric lens. In this study, several experiments were
carried out BK7 optical glass lens by using vitrified, metal, resin bond diamond wheel and the
polisher of urethane ball was used to remove the tool marks with an ultra-precision in-line grinding
system. It was found that machining parameters significantly influence the surface roughness of
aspheric optical lens.
