Abstract

Computer-controlled Bonnet Polishing (CCBP) with multi-axis machining is an enabling technology which is capable of fabricating ultraprecision surfaces with sub-micrometer form accuracy and surface roughness in the nanometer range. With the increasing demands for functional enhancement, it is of paramount importance to understand how various polishing process parameters affect the ability to accurately produce a superfinished surface with geometrically dimensional shapes in the submicrometer order. As a result, this paper presents an experimental investigation of the factors affecting the material removal in bonnet polishing. The optimal process parameters and the significance of the important parameters in CCBP are identified. The results shed some light on the optimization of the CCBP.
