Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the model of the static tool influence function (sTIF) of bonnet polishing (BP). Three kinds of sTIF are mathematically modeled, which are static tool influence function of tilted polishing (sTIFt), static tool influence function of discrete precession polishing (sTIFd), and static tool influence function of continuous precession (sTIFc), respectively. Pressure distribution in the contact area is confirmed based on finite element analysis (FEA) technology. A group of experiments to extract the polishing spots have been conducted to verify the accuracy of the sTIF model. Meanwhile, the difference between sTIFd and sTIFc is studied. It turns out that the removal depths of sTIFd and sTIFc are almost the same, and the continuous precession polishing can be replaced by discrete precession polishing to ease control in practical polishing process especially for the aspheric surfaces polishing.
