RESUMO

The development of optical systems, the use of laser and consequently the need of refractive surface with high finish levels and precision are increasing significantly the demand for research on high precision machining. The surfaces obtained with the usual polishing process are lirnited in plane, cilindrical and spherical shape and spend a lot of time to obtain a good result. The grinding of brittle materiaIs is an altemative to polishing and lapping and the results shown that the use of a high precision lathe with a grinding spindle is a viable proposition to generate aspherics surfaces. This is a study of optical glasses grinding and the objective is to defrne the grinding parameters to achieve the smoothness desired, it shows the influence of feed rate in the smoothness and study the effects of feed rate and diamond wheel rotation. As the main results, is showed the best condition of feedrate and rotation and a comparison with another work with eletrolytic in process dressing (ELID) and without this resource, and the conclusion is that is possible and feasible to grind optical glass with a high precision grinding machine and the possibility to vary the diamond wheel rotation is a differencial.
