  •   本研究中加強了一個自動化模具拋光系統(Automatic Mold Polishing System, AMPS)的功能。此系統包括了四個主要的模組:幾何模組、路徑規劃模組、排程規劃模組與拋光執行模組。幾何模組方面,本研究中的B-spline自由曲面幾何為IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification)檔案格式。在讀入B-spline自由曲面的參數之後,AMPS會根據這些曲面參數重建一個曲面並繪出在使用者視窗介面中,然後藉著B-spline自由曲面的微分幾何特性求出法向量、主曲率與有效接觸面積等重要的拋光參數。拋光路徑規劃方面,掃描旋擺路徑(scan-weaving path)與碎形旋擺路徑(Peano-weaving path)同樣也可以根據B-spline自由曲面的參數將路徑點產生在三維的自由曲面上。在產生三維路徑點的同時也考慮了均勻磨耗的問題,而此均勻磨耗的模式是架構在等拋光力量與有效接觸面積理論之上。在拋光排程方面,使用者輸入拋光的需求參數之後,AMPS就會根據排程資料庫中以最佳拋光參數為基礎的拋光效率曲線自動排出一個最佳拋光效率排程。其中這些最佳拋光效率曲線都是以田口式拋光實驗所求得。
      拋光執行方面,本研究中以具有力量控制能力的五軸機器人來執行,並以兩個光學模具為實驗驗証的對象,分別使用了不同的拋光排程與拋光路徑,比較兩者的拋光效果。研究的最後對於拋光排程的表面粗糙度達成率、表面輪廓與磨耗深度的預測公式都進行了分析與驗証。結果顯示此效率曲線排程具有良好的表面粗糙度達成率。而使用碎形旋擺路徑所拋出來的表面輪廓則比使用掃描旋擺路徑的輪廓來得平滑。磨耗深度預測公式也被証明具有高度的準確性。

     This thesis enhances the automatic mold polishing system (AMPS) developed by the Robotics and Automation Laboratory, NCKU. In which four major modules are integrated to accomplish the goal of automatic polishing. These modules are: (1) the mold geometry kernel module, (2) the path planner module, (3) the process planner module, and (4) the polishing execution module. In new version of AMPS system, the free-form surfaces in IGES format are read and the mold geometry regenerated as a B-Spline surface. Using the derivative properties of the B-Spline surface, the normal vector, the principal curvatures, and the effective contact area can be calculated at any point on the surface. The polishing paths are generated and drawn on the 3D mold surface for verification. A uniform wear model is developed based on the effective contact area with constant pressure control. According to the polishing requirements of the mold, AMPS automatically schedules the polishing process using polishing efficiency based on sets of optimal polishing parameters determined from Taguchi experiments.
     Using a five-axis force-controlled robot developed by our laboratory, two optical molds are polished using the scan-weaving and Peano-weaving path generation methods, respectively. The experimental results show that the final surface roughness of both molds satisfies the expectations specified in the respective process plans. The surface profiles of the two molds are analyzed and compared. It is found that the surface profile of the mold polished with the Peano-weaving path is superior to that of the mold polished using the scan-weaving path. The material removal is also analyzed to validate the proposed uniform wear model. The results confirm that this model provides highly accurate predictions of the material removal and polishing time.
