Demands of glass Fresnel lens is increasing in solar panel in order to increase power efficiency. Glass lens is usually molded by glass molding method with tungsten carbide molds. In this study, large Fresnel lens molds made of tungsten carbide are tested to be ground by simultaneous 2-axis (Y, Z) controlled grinding method. The resinoid bonded diamond wheel was trued with a rare metal truer to improve the sharpness of the wheel edge. In the grinding test of the tungsten carbide mold, a form accuracy of less than 0.8 μm P-V and surface roughness of 18 nm Rz were obtained, and it is clarified that the proposed grinding method is useful for the Fresnel grinding.

Demand for glass Fresnel lenses is increasing in solar panel manufacture in order to increase power efficiency. Glass lenses are usually moulded using a glass moulding method with tungsten carbide moulds. In this study, large Fresnel lens moulds made of tungsten carbide are tested to be ground by a simultaneous 2-axis (Y, Z) controlled grinding method. The resinoid bonded diamond wheel is trued with a rare metal truer to increase the sharpness of the wheel edge.

Manufacturing moulds for the wafer-scale replication of precision glass optics sets new demands in terms of grinding tool lifetime and the processes to be applied. This paper will present different approaches to grinding processes and kinematics to machine wafer-scale tungsten carbide moulds with diameters of up to 100 mm and more than 100 single aspheric cavities, each featuring form accuracies in the micron range. The development of these processes will be described and advantages and disadvantages of the approaches derived from practical tests performed on an ultra precision grinding machine (Moore Nanotech 350FG) will be discussed. Finally, a comparison between the developed processes is made where achieved form accuracies and surface topography are analyzed.

A set of precision vertical grinding experiment on WC-CO cemented tungsten carbide materials was carried out using cubic boron nitride (CBN) grinding wheel. Different grinding parameters such as rotation speeds of workpiece, feed rates and grinding depths were employed during precision vertical grinding. Surface roughness was measured for studying the grinding charateristics of WC-CO cemented tungsten carbide in this removal mode. Optimal grinding parameters were obtained by changing the process parameters. The research results have an important significance to improve grinding quality and efficiency for precision grinding cemented tungsten carbide materials.

For the production of mould inserts for precision glass moulding, the ultra precision grinding technique with a subsequent manual polishing operation is typically applied. These processes are time consuming and have a relatively low reproducibility. An alternative manufacturing technology, with a high predictability and efficiency, which additionally allows a higher geometrical flexibility, is the diamond turning technique. In addition the ultrasonic assisted ultra precision cutting process has already proven its potential for machining difficult-to-cut materials, such as steel and glass. By applying the ultrasonic assistance, the classic constraints of the process can be widened significantly. In this publication the process is applied on binderless, nanocrystalline tungsten carbide.
