Abstract
A new magnetic polishing technology applicable to die and mold manufacturing has been studied using the magnetic polishing tool. The key idea is that magnetic force is used to produce the polishing pressure so that polishing of curved surfaces can be possible without exact control of tool path. This makes the polishing automation of dimensional dies and molds very easy. In this study, experiments have been executed using the magnetic polishing tool and mini CNC milling machine without tool path control. Some mirror-like surfaces have been acquired by two stages of polishing: firstly, wheel type magnetic polishing and, secondly, magnetic abrasive polishing.
