Abstract

The main objective of this article is to introduce a novel power device for electrical-assisted micro-grinding, which could reduce the ambiguities reported and experienced during grinding. For example, the device's software is equipped with a knowledge database that automatically sets suitable electrical parameters for the instructed fine grinding parameters. The parameters are controlled throughout the process in order to achieve the stringent specifications required for further advanced polishing processes or establishing mirror surface finish on optical components.
