Surface shape and accuracy of the metal lapping pad have a significant impact on the performance of the lapping process for flat optical components, which are usually improved by the dressing process. A real-time dressing system for metal lapping pad surface shape (RDLS system) based on the bimetal thermal deformation effect is proposed. Unlike tra...

Vibratory technological machines are widely implemented in various branches of industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering. Particularly, such equipment can be effectively used while conducting finishing technological operations, e.g., lapping and polishing of different machine parts. The present paper is focused on developing the control system for the novel design of a vibratory lapping-polishing machine driven by six solenoids. The main purpose consists in providing the circular trajectory of the working member and ensuring the machining uniformity at each point of the surface being treated. In such a case, it is proposed to actuate the solenoids with the specified time shift depending on the forced frequency needed to be provided. The duration of the signal actuating the solenoid is equal to one-sixth of the total duration of a cycle (period) of the working body oscillation. The corresponding control approach is developed and simulated in the Tinkercad application, while the control system is designed based on the Arduino software and hardware. In addition, the laboratory prototype of the vibratory lapping-polishing machine and the corresponding control system are implemented in practice. The performed experimental investigations substantiate the possibilities of generating the circular oscillations of the working member of the vibratory lapping-polishing machine. The obtained results may be useful for engineers and technologists dealing with control systems of various vibratory technological equipment based on electromagnetic and solenoid-type drives.

Vibratory treatment is widely used in various industries for performing finishing technological operations, e.g., lapping, polishing, glazing, strengthening (hardening), etc. The problems of maximizing the treatment accuracy and performance of vibratory technological equipment provide the necessity of optimizing the motion trajectory (path) of the corresponding working member. The main purpose of these investigations is to substantiate the possibilities of generating the translational (reciprocating) motion and plane (plane-parallel) oscillations of the working members of vibratory lapping-polishing machines. The research methodology consists of the following stages: substantiating the ideas of improving the vibratory lapping-polishing machines; designing the dynamic diagrams of the machines' oscillatory systems; developing the mathematical models to describe their dynamic behavior; numerical modeling of the machines' motion conditions. The obtained results present the possible motion trajectories (paths) of the working member (lap, polisher, grazer, etc.). The main scientific novelty of these investigations is substantiating the idea and possibilities of implementing various motion conditions of the working member for adjusting the vibratory lapping-polishing machine in accordance with the technological requirements, as well as for increasing the wear-out period and durability (normal operating period) of the working member. The obtained results can be used for improving the performance and accuracy of similar vibratory lapping-polishing machines.
