DTM (Diamond Turning Machine) is using for ultra precision manufacturing such as, plastic lens die or aspherical optics. This study is on a design of precision 2-axis stage for DTM. We designed and manufactured a back lash free stage using different weights and measured the positioning accuracy using Interferometer. Also, the 2-D moving accuracy is measured using the high magnification CCD technique. Then, the stage is tested with the machining of spherical and aspherical lens in a DTM with air bearing spindle. It was shown that the back lash free stage is effective for improving the positioning accuracy. Also, positioning control errors in motion control board were able to be found using the proposed stages system.

This paper described about on-machine profile measurement of aspheric surfaces using contact probing technique in ultra precision machine. A contact probe has been designed as a sensing device to obtain measuring resolutions in nanometer regime using a circle leaf spring mechanism and a capacitive-type sensor. The contact probe which is installed on the z-axis is In touch with the aspheric objects which is fixed on the spindle of the diamond turning machine(DTM) during the measuring procedure. The x, z-axis motions of the machine are monitored by a set of two orthogonal plane mirror type laser interferometers. As a results, the developed contact probe on-machine measurement system showed 10 nanometers repeatability with a ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ and uncertainty of 200 nmPv.

This paper described about the ultra-precision profile measurement of aspheric surfaces using contact probing technique. A contact probe has been designed as a sensing device to obtain measuring resolutions in nanometer regime utilizing a circle leaf spring mechanism and a capacitive-type sensor. The, contact probe is attached on the z-axis during measurement while aspheric object are supported on the diamond turning machine(DTM). The machine xz-axis motions are monitored by a set of two orthogonal plane mirror type laser interferometers. Experimental results show that the contact probing technique developed of on-machine measurement system in this investigation is capable of providing a repeatability of 10 nanometers with a $\pm$20 uncertainty of 200nmPv.

This article presents machining experiments to assess the relationship between the profile accuracy and the workpiece hardness using a natural diamond tool on an ultra-precision diamond turning machine. The study is intended to secure a corner cube prism pattern for reflective film capable of high-quality outcomes. The optical performance levels and edge images of corner cubes having various hardness levels of the copper-coated layer on a carbon steel plate are analyzed. The hardness of the workpiece has a considerable effect on the profile accuracy. The higher the hardness of the workpiece, the better the profile accuracy and the worse the edge wear of the diamond tool.

An aspherical lens in information technology has been increased in order to enhance the optical performances. There are two kinds of approaches to machine the aspherica surface is generally conducted by the diamond turning machine, precision grinding machine, and polishing machine. This technique, however, has a problem which needs an expensive and high precision machine in order to increase the surface roughness and the machining accuracy. In this paper, a machine, which is able to machine the aspherical surface, was developed to decrease the cost. Also, the machining of the aspherical surface using a cone was carried out experimentally in order to compare the experiment with the simulation. The results showed that the machining experiments of the aspherical surface by using the titled cone were in accordance with the simulation.

This study presents the optimal hardness range for a coated layer of a workpiece when the diamond tool cuts the corner-cube pattern on the coated plates using an ultra-precision diamond-turning machine. Two kinds of coated plates, which have the hardness range of 211~328 Vickers hardness, are used on the first experiments. The form accuracy for the corner-cube pattern could be achieved through the following experiments using the accumulated thin copper plates in second experiments, having optimal 265~275 Vickers hardness based on the basic first experiments without tool wear. When the number of machining adjustments was increased to seven times, having machining depth was reduced successively in second experiment, a fine surface could be achieved without tool wear.

현재 비구면렌즈를 만들기 위해서는 다양한 방법이 있다. Glass종류의 가공시 초정밀 절삭가공기(DTM)에서 가공하거나 정밀 연삭기를 가지고 가공하게 된다. 이 과정에서 렌즈 표면에 공구 흔적이나 표면거칠기 개선을 위해 연마작업을 하게 되는데, 사용하는 장비가 폴리싱 머신이다. 축대칭인 폴리싱머신의 경우 X, Z, $\theta$로 동시 3축제어가 가능하다. 하지만 이 장비의 경우 연마에서 원하는 형상정밀도와 표면거칠기를 얻기 위해 각축들의 위치정밀도와 분해능이 높은 부품을 사용하여 기계자체가 고가라는 점이 단점으로 작용한다.(중략)

To manufacture the lens mold used in producing polycarbonate (PC) lenses, the core manufacturing is needed and this core manufacturing is generally performed by diamond turning machine (DTM) or computer numerical control (CNC) lathe. The numerical data about the lens core feature is necessarily needed for operating of these devices. Therefore, we developed the program which calculate the numerical data about the lens core feature. The program was composed to be able to input aspherical coefficients of lens feature, display the graph of lens feature, and save the numerical data file.
