The Control Algorithm of Ultrasonic-Magnetorheological Combined Finishing for Rotary Symmetrical Aspheric Surface
Concave aspheric surface with small curvature radius is difficult to fabricate by most of existing technologies. Ultrasonic- magnetorheological combined finishing (UMC) is a new technique for the ultraprecision machining of aspheric surfaces, especially for the ultrasmooth surfaces machining of small-radiuses concave surfaces and freeform surfaces. According to the characteristics of rotary symmetrical aspheric surface, path algorithms for UMC finishing have been developed. Propose and compare two kinds of polishing dwell time algorithms, and the derivation process and computer simulation result of the algorithms was also presented. The experiments using the control algorithm have been conducted, and the efficiency of algorithm is proved by experimental results.
