Investigation on the Micro Cutting Mechanism and Surface Topography Generation in Ultraprecision Diamond Turning.

Revealing forming mechanism of workpiece surface topography plays an important role in improving ultraprecision turning. In this paper, the forming mechanism of the turning workpiece surface topography is analyzed and verified by the theoretical simulation and experiment respectively. First, the factors directly related to the turning process are analyzed, and a volumetric error model is built and discussed, which considered geometric errors, tool geometry, spindle vibrations, feed rate, cut depth, and feed system position change.

Multi-Physics Fields Based Nonlinear Dynamic Behavior Analysis of Air Bearing Motorized Spindle.

The air bearing motorized spindle (ABMS) is the key component of the ultra-precision machine tool, which plays an important role in the ultra-precision machining process and directly influences machining accuracy. The influence of unbalanced magnetic force (UMF) on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the ABMS is not understood clearly. To reveal the potential influence of the UMF, a mathematical model of the ABMS considering multiphysics fields is established.
