Abstract
Grinding of large optical components in ductile mode with high form accuracy and low subsurface damage is difficult to achieve with fine grained diamond grinding wheels due to wheel wear and the necessity of recurrent dressing. An advanced high precision conditioning method for electroplated coarse-grained diamond grinding wheels for grinding large optical components in optical quality without recurrent dressing is proposed in this paper. This method is used to truncate the tips of each diamond grain on the periphery of the grinding wheel generating a uniform envelope. Therefore a bronze bond diamond cup wheel was applied. Since rapid glazing of the cup wheel occurs during the conditioning process, either the electrolytic in-process dressing technique (ELID) tikya[1] is used or an alumina oxide stick is applied intermittently for dressing the conditioning wheel.
