Micro axis-symmetric aspherical glass lenses are being increasingly used in digital devices and optical devices. The glass lenses are molded by using micro ceramic dies such as tungsten carbide [1].Recently, as the pixel number of digital image sensors increases, the accuracy of micro molding dies are required to be much more precise than ever [2]. In this study, ultrasonic assisted polishing method is proposed and developed in order to finish micro axis-symmetric aspherical dies which were pre-ground with a diamond wheel [3]. In this paper, the proposed polishing method was applied to the micro aspherical molding dies to finish form compensation processing.

Traditionally, single point diamond turning (SPDT) can not process ferreous metals because of acute tool wear. Ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting(UVC) provides a promising solution for the problem. In this paper, for the aim of directly obtaining mirror surface on die steels, UVC method was used combining with SPDT process. Experiments were carried out on an ultra precision turning machine, cutting parameters and vibration parameters were well-chosen, and two kind of feed rates, two kinds of prevailing die steels were experimented. Mirror surfaces were successfully achieved on face turning, with the best roughness of Ra16.6nm. And the surface roughness, surface texture and tool wear in machining process were discussed.

Demands of micro aspheric optical components such as lenses and mirrors are increasing for installing to the digital devices. As the devices become to be more compact and complicated, the molds shapes of lens and mirrors would become more difficult to be machined and measured. In this study, multi-axis controlled ultra precision machining/grinding and on-machine measurement technologies are developed for manufacturing of the complicated and micro molds. In this paper, the next four technologies are focused: (1) micro fresnel grinding, (2) Micro lens array grinding, (3) Ultrasonic vibration assisted polishing, and (4) Contact type of multi axis controlled on-machine measuring system.
