Manufacturing of a big aperture lightweight mirror
The mechanical light-weighting technique to manufacture a big aperture lightweight mirror was given. Based on CAD(computer aided design)
the technique searches the zone of the lightweight process and marking it
then chooses the radii of the diamond tool
and describing the tool path in the lightweight process zone. If the area of the tool path covers the lightweight process zone
it will write down the tool path datum for the editing CNC program. The CNC program is made up of TPH documents and program language that follow definite regulations of frame
syntax
and format. The CNC program can control system functions such as principal axis rotating speed
tool moving speed
cooling form of mirror
workbench travel path.Meantime the chemical etching is used to eliminate the stress and minute cracks induced in the manufacturing process
which can affect the quality of the mirror and reduce its working life
and even more lead to the serious sequent of mirror breaking. Using the technique
a big aperture lightweight mirror was achieved. The results show that the big aperture lightweight mirror has met the requested specifications
with the lightweight rate of more than 65%
the precision of the aspheric surface is 0.029 λ(rms
λ=633 nm).The mirror is steady in both its testing and working status.
