Abstract

A flexible tool is developed for automatic finishing of curved surfaces without any complicated control technique on three-axes machining center. The tool is made of thermosetting polyurethane elastomer on the surface of which aluminum oxide abrasives are mounted. Performance and durability of the tool are examined by finishing ball-end milled surfaces of high-alloyed tool steel. It is demonstrated that the tool removes cusp successfully without changing overall surface shape in relatively short time.
