摘要
A micro-positioning table with a 0.005 μm resolution has been developed to enhance the performance of a conventional grinding machine in the fine grinding of ceramics. A piezoelectric actuator with high stiffness and resolution has been applied to drive the table and to provide small depths of cut for the workpiece. The performance of the table is investigated with both open and closed-loop operation to drive the actuator. The accuracy and stiffness of the positioning are improved by means of the closed-loop control. Grinding experiments with ceramics, such as partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) and hot-pressed silicon nitride (Si3N4), were carried out to demonstrate the performance of the table. The actual resolution of depth-of-cut control was determined by measuring ground groove depths on the ceramic surface. A mirror-like surface on the ceramic was easily obtained by grinding at the small depth of cut of 0.1 μm with the aid of the table. © 1990.
