Abstract

Various items of roll molds are popularly used to fabricate different kinds of optical films for optoelectronic information and other new and high-tech fields, while the fabrication and evaluation of optical microstructures on a cylindrical roller surface is more difficult than ecumenically manufactured products. In this study, the machinability of microstructures on the roll based on a fast tool servo (FTS) system is investigated. First, the flexible hinge holder for a FTS is designed and its structural parameters are optimized with finite-element analysis and fatigue reliability theory. The tool radius compensation algorithm for complicated microstructures is then deduced based on the surface fitting and bilinear interpolation algorithm of discrete data. Meanwhile, the evaluation index and method are proposed by the medium section method. Finally, a machining test of aspheric arrays on a cylindrical aluminum surface is carried out, and the high quality of the microstructure indicates that the proposed method is able to be used to fabricate optical microstructures.
