A study of point-contact polishing tool system design for axially symmetric free surface

The goal of this thesis is to develop a novel polishing tool system. This system can be attached to a CNC machine and execute a precision polishing job mainly for an axially symmetric free surface. The precision polishing job is to remove the error surface profile on the work to improve its form precision, which was left by the previous machining process. An inferential rule, which was based on a top-down planning strategy, was utilized to gradually decompose the design goals of the tool system to facilitate the process for generating all of the possible design proposals. The major design goal is to render all the rotational axes of the tool system to exactly intersect at the tool center. To analyze the effects of the structure and interface stiffness of tool system on the major goal, the finite element method was adopted. Further, the homogeneous transformation scheme is applied to establish the forward kinematic error of the designed system and to analyze the effect of different manufacturing and assembly errors on the major goal.Accordingly, two novel polishing tool systems were developed. The simulation study indicated that the total errors after assembly at the tool center and the two rotation axes were dominated by the stiffness at the interfaces of the tool system, in addition to the influence of structure stiffness. An assembly strategy was then proposed in the study to reduce the total error.
