Abstract
The invention relates to a method for machining a workpiece surface, in which a machining area of the workpiece surface is machined under the influence of a polishing operation; the method comprising providing a fluid jet of abrasive liquid for impacting the machining area, wherein the fluid jet is arranged to break up in droplets prior to impacting the machining area.
Description
- The invention relates to a method for machining a workpiece surface, in which an area to be machined of the workpiece surface is machined under the influence of a polishing operation.
- It is known to form curved optical surfaces in optical materials, such as quartz or glass, by means of fluid jet polishing (FJP).
-
W09926764 W0992674 - In addition, it is known to provide a device for cutting glass using a high-speed jet of liquid in the order of magnitude of 2000 bar.
- Fluid jet polishing results in nice polishing properties since the machining area can be very small, and a beam profile of the jet, due to the randomness of the polishing process, provides smooth transitions outside machining areas. In this context, a "machining area" is the part of a surface of an object where the fluid jet actively impacts the object. Furthermore, the technique is suitable to follow substantial inclinations of the surface to be machined, such as sharp corners and steep slopes.
- However, a desire exists to further decrease the surface roughness due to the polishing operation. To that end, the invention provides method for machining a workpiece surface, in which a machining area of the workpiece surface is machined under the influence of a polishing operation; the method comprising providing a fluid jet of abrasive liquid for impacting the machining area, wherein the fluid jet is arranged to break up in droplets prior to impacting the machining area.
- A non limiting explanation why this may provide improved polishing results is, that in a constitution with a fluid jet that is broken up in droplets prior to impacting the machining area, the abrasive particles are better surrounded by the fluid in the droplets, due to the surface tension properties of the droplets, than in a constitution with the fluid jet in a continuous jet form, which is a jet of fluid moving as a continuous elongate fluid volume, which is not broken up in smaller droplets prior to impacting the machining area. In the latter constitution, due to turbulent air mixing with the fluid jet, the abrasive particles impact the surface with too high force and may affect the polishing result. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are represented in the subclaims.
- The invention will now be further elucidated with reference to an exemplary embodiment represented in a drawing. In the drawing:
-
Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a machining apparatus according to the invention; and -
Figure 2 shows a schematic side view of the tooling setup ofFig. 1 -
Figure 3 shows a schematic impression of a chamber wall ofFigure 2 ; and -
Figure 4 shows another schematic impression of the chamber wall ofFigure 2 . - With reference to
Figure 1 , amachining apparatus 1 is shown having a polishing tool designed as a fluid jet-polishing device 2, in this example, rotatably mounted. The axis of rotation is transversal, preferably perpendicular to themachining surface 7, i.e. preferably parallel to a normal direction of the surface. Themachining apparatus 1 further comprises a workpiece table 4 on which aworkpiece 5 of e.g. BK7 is clamped which can be machined with the aid of a jet of polishingliquid 6 leaving anozzle 3 of the fluid jet polishing device 2. The polishing fluid comprises, for instance, a slurry of 90 volume percent water and 10 volume percent of silicon carbide particles, each with a diameter of approximately 5 µm, which, via a spout nozzle with a cylindrical diameter of approximately 1.5 millimetre and a length of approximately 15 to 22 millimetres is spouted, at a pressure of approximately 5 bar, from a distance of approximately 3 cm at an acute angle onto thework piece 5, so that a substantially round area to be machined 7 is formed in the work piece surface 8. The workpiece table 4 and the fluid jet device 2 are disposed so as to be movable relative to each other with the aid of a table and/or nozzle control mechanism (not shown) which is numerically controlled by acentral processing unit 9, so that the area to be machined 7 can be displaced over the workpiece surface 8. Further, thecentral processing unit 9 may be coupled to a measurement device (not shown) for measuring polishing progress. The device 2 may comprise a vibrating member arranged in the chamber, for example a piezo, magnetostrictic or voice coil actuated vibratingrod 10 near nozzle 2 to actively break up thefluid jet 6 indroplets 9 prior to impacting themachining area 7. In addition, or alternatively, the nozzle 2 may be vibrated as a whole, as indicated byarrow 15. - In an embodiment, it has been found that start up effects of creating the stream of
droplets 9 may produce an unstable stream with impacting abrasive particles. This may affect the surface roughness and can be circumvented by areceptacle 11 arranged to receive a fluid jet or a stream ofdroplets 9 to prevent the jet and/or droplets from impacting the surface area 8. The receptacle may be mechanically movable by areceptacle actuator 12 to move the receptacle into the jet trajectory. Alternatively, adeflection mechanism 13 may be provided to deflect the droplet trajectory, for example, by electrostatic deflection or a Coanda deflector, to selectively pass adroplet 9 to the machining interface. This may improve polishing control since the amount of polishing fluid can be precisely tuned to achieve a predefined polishing effect. Thereceptacle 12 may be further provided with a recirculation system to recirculate the abrasive fluid to the pressure pump (not shown). - As shown in
Figure 2 , anozzle 3 is moved to a distance above aworkpiece 5. In this case, the distance betweennozzle 3 andmachining area 7 is a several millimetres, such as for example 30 mm. Theabrasive liquid 3 is sprayed onto theworkpiece 5 at a pressure of, for example, 5 bar. The nozzle may be of circular cross section with a diameter of between 0.2 and 3.5 mm directed towards an optical surface. Operating pressures may be between 0.5 and 10 bar but may suitably be varied to higher pressures, such as 100 or even 600 bar depending on the specific abrasive fluid, machining area and nozzle diameter. In the embodiment ofFigure 2 the break up mechanism is formed by a revolvingnozzle holder 20 and a stationarychamber wall side 21 opposite thenozzle holder 20. The stationarychamber wall side 21 may be formed on astationary block 22 that cooperates with therotatable nozzle holder 20. Thewall side 21 comprises a plurality ofsurface deformations 23 arranged in annular fashion, shown in plenary view inFigure 3 (thechamber wall 21 showing upward). A distance between the wall deformations and the nozzle channel may be in the order of the interval of 0.01-5 millimeter, depending on fluid pressure and fluid viscosity, so as to be able to impart a pressure pulse to thefluid jet 6 to actively break up thefluid jet 6 intodroplets 9. The pulse frequency may be determined by the rotor frequency and number of deformations on the wall. Preferably, the frequency is in the range of a natural break up frequency of thejet 6 determined by Rayleigh dynamics. An indication for the natural break-up frequency, for low viscosity fluids of less then 500 mPa*s, could be expressed by f=u/(K *d) wherein f is the break up frequency, u de jet velocity and d de undisturbed jet diameter and constant K= 4,508. For higher viscosity fluids, a similar range is calculable, depending on another constant K.Stationary block 22 and rotating nozzle holder are preferably shaped to provide apressurized chamber 24 formed and suitably sealed betweenopposite walls 21 ofblock 22 andnozzle holder 20. Thestationary block 22 comprises afluid inlet 25 connectible with a pressure pump (not shown). - A rotation shaft (not shown) may be provided extending through the
chamber 24; coupled to a drive motor arranged opposite the stationary block and suitably sealed. - The
abrasive fluid 6 used may be water containing H800 SiC abrasive particles. The jet diameter is, for example, 2 mm. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the angle alpha between thenozzle 3 and theworkpiece surface 7 is 20, and the nozzle 2 is advanced with respect to the surface 8 of theworkpiece 5. At the relatively low pressure and the given diameter of thenozzle 1, the flow of theabrasive liquid 3 will be laminar. The rate and level of fineness of the working can be adjusted by varying diameter of the nozzle, the pressure of theabrasive liquid 3, the angle alpha with respect to theworkpiece 5 and the distance between thenozzle 3 and theworkpiece 5. -
Figure 4 shows another view of said chamber wall, wherein the deformations are formed by rotor shaped depressions. Other deformations, in particular, axisymmetric forms such as round, inclined, tapered or undulated rotor shaped forms may be used depending on a desired effect. The deformations, in particular, suitably formed depressions, protrusions, through holes and/or notches are shaped to provide a pressure pulse near the nozzle so as to break up the fluid jet ejected from the nozzle intodroplets 9. - In an embodiment of the method according to the invention, multiple nozzles may be used, each of which is disposed at an angle with respect to the workpiece and the liquid jets from which intersect one another on or below the workpiece surface. The intersecting jets may impact a single machining area but do not have to hit the optical surface at the same time. The abrasive liquid may comprise a number of liquids, such as water or an organic liquid, such as octanol. Preferably, abrasive particles or polishing particles are added to an abrasive liquid, such as for example #800 silicon carbide or particles which have similar properties. Other suitable abrasive particles comprise diamond or aluminium oxide, while #1500 diamond, silicon carbide or cerium oxide can be used for polishing. The rate at which material is removed from the surface of the workpiece depends on the concentration, dimensions and hardness of the abrasive particles and on the type of abrasive liquid, the velocity of the abrasive liquid when it leaves the nozzle, the contact time, the geometry, the relative dimensions and orientation of the nozzle with respect to the workpiece surface, and the like. The diameter of the nozzle is relatively small compared to the dimensions of the workpiece, preferably between 1 cm and 0.05 mm, and particularly preferably between 5 mm and 0.2 mm.
- Although the process according to the invention can be used on a multiplicity of materials, the method is particularly suitable for optical materials, such as for example BK7, ULE (a trademark of Corning and recognized in the industry), silicon, glass, sapphire, quartz, optical plastics, but also for metal or ceramic materials. Owing to the low energy of the abrasive liquid and the abrasive particles, material is removed gradually without pitting or scratches being formed. During the operation, one nozzle may be moved with respect to the workpiece, for example in a raster pattern. It is also possible to employ a series of nozzles and to rotate the workpiece about its axis of rotation at the same time. By linking the movement of the nozzle to the movement of the workpiece, it is possible to grind and polish complex geometric shapes, such as, for example, freeform surfaces described by higher order polynomials surfaces. The cross section of the nozzle may be circular, elliptical, triangular or rectangular, or may be in the form of a series specifically shaped openings in order to form a plurality of slots.
- Although the invention has been discussed with reference to the exemplary embodiments represented in the drawing, it is not limited thereto but can comprise all sorts of variations and modifications thereof. Such variations are understood to fall within the reach of the invention as outlined by the following claims.
