Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose a compensation grinding method for large aspheric mirror surface. Because the tradition grinding is not suitable for large aspheric mirror surface, in this paper, a grate parallel grinding in 3-axis and an on-machine measurement system are applied. Based on that, it presents the errors that mainly affect the form accuracy and technology of compensation grinding. An experiment of compensation grinding was carried out for large aspheric mirror surface. With the separation of decentering, wheel arc, and residual grinding system error, the PV value further decreased comparing to tradition compensation. These results indicated that this compensation can improve the form accuracy significantly in large aspheric mirror surface grinding.
