  • Machining surfaces of optical quality by hard turning 
    Knuefermann, Markus M. W. (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Industrial and Manufacturing Science, 2003-11)
    The main aim of this work was the machining by hard turning of surfaces with optical surface quality. A numerical target had been set as a surface roughness Ra = 10nm. It has been shown that achieving roughness of that ...
  • Precision Grinding for Rapid Manufacturing of Large Optics 
    Tonnellier, Xavier (Cranfield University, 2009-05)
    Large scale nuclear fusion and astronomy scientific programmes have increased the demand for large freeform mirrors and lenses. Thousands of one metre class, high quality aspherical optical components are required within ...
  • Thermal analysis of energy beam using de-laval nozzle in plasma figuring process 
    Yu, Nan (Cranfield University, 2016-10)
    In 2012, plasma figuring was proven to be an alternative solution for the fabrication of large scale ultra-precise optical surfaces. Indeed, plasma figuring was successfully demonstrated on a metre class glass surface. The ...
  • Thermal and deformation analysis of joint interfaces in machine tools 
    Gashi, Bekim (2008-05)
    Machine tools are made up of many different parts connected together. In order to understand and create more accurate thermal and deformation numerical models the heat transfer characteristics of machine tool interfaces ...
  • Thermal Performance of a Multi-Axis Smoothing Cell 
    Georgiou, Charalambos Andrew (Cranfield University, 2011-05)
    Multi Axis Robots have traditionally been used in industry for pick and place, de-burring, and welding operations. Increasing technological advances have broadened their application and today robots are increasingly being ...
