Abstract

Ultra-precision machining (UPM), is renowned for manufacturing products with high precision and surface quality has found diverse application in the optics, automobile, medical instruments, and aerospace industries. Shape adaptive bonnet polishing (SABP), which uses a flexible, non-rigid bonnet tool can be used an alternative ultra-precision polishing method for polishing of complex and delicate microstructures. This paper aims at the investigation on the surface roughness produced by SABP by experimental and analytical model as well as scrutinizing the effects of polishing time and tool offset on tool imprints and surface roughness within the SABP process. Notably, our analytical model highlights the significant influence of polishing time over offset distance for enhancing surface quality, due to its capacity to generate a tool influence curve with a high radius of curvature. The elongation of polishing time leads to a deeper and more flattened tool influence curve, thus resulting in an improved surface quality, a conclusion further affirmed by our experimental outcomes. The utilization of SABP has demonstrated a capacity to enhance workpiece surface quality tenfold, yielding a smooth and uniformly polished surface with surface roughness of 0.008μm. In light of these results, to enhance surface quality further, the study advocates for the prioritization of extending polishing time over altering tool offset in ultra-precision machining.
