Abstract

To improve the convexity uniformity, processing efficiency, and surface quality of precision-machined crowned rollers, this paper proposes a double-curved disc ultrasonic-assisted lapping (DUAL) method. Firstly, a DUAL machine is designed according to the technical requirements of crowned roller lapping, and the working principle is presented. Then, the ultrasonic-coupled processing mechanism for crowned roller surfaces is analyzed, and the abrasive particle motion and material removal regularities under cavitation are acquired. Subsequently, an ultrasonic amplitude transformer for DUAL is developed, and the DUAL experimental platform for precision-machined crowned rollers is established. Finally, comparative processing experiments using non-ultrasonic lapping and through-feed super-finishing are performed. The experimental results indicate that the proposed DUAL method can improve processing efficiency and surface roughness, and also the batch uniformity of the convex metric.
