Abstract:In order to realize the uncertainty evaluation of the workpiece circularity error, the sampling strategy, error evaluation method, and uncertainty of the circular outline of the workpiece were investigated based on the Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). First, to achieve many samples from different workpieces, circular outlines were measured. Next, the sample circularity errors were evaluated according to the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. Then, by comparing the errors, the adopted sampling strategies and the DE algorithm were explained. Finally, based on the results of the circularity error, the uncertainty was evaluated by applying the GUM and MCM methods. The maximum average difference is 1.1μm, and the average standard uncertainty of the MCM method is 0.02 μm less than the GUM method. More stable, reliable, and accurate results can be obtained using reasonable sampling points, DE algorithm, and MCM evaluation method.

Abstract:This study investigates the influence of thermal history (molding temperature and cooling rate) on the mirror forming process for spin-cast aspheric mirrors. Abaqus finite element analysis software using different molding temperature and cooling rate of simulation analysis to determine the Spin-cast temperature is 950℃ and the cooling rate of mirror is 1℃/s which can be completed in the mold filling and mirror forming. The spin-cast experiment was executed, and the forming results were measured. When the cooling rate is more than 1℃/s, the mirror is fragmented owing to the excessive local residual stress after cooling. Additionally, the axial height of the mirror edge differs from the theoretical value by 10.12 mm, and there is a large surface figure error. This surface figure error is attributable to the volume change on cooling.
