Precise Alignment Method of Large Diameter Mirror Processing Machine Tool

Abstract

The invention discloses an accurate alignment method for a large aperture mirror machine tool, belongs to the technical field of optical machining and detection, and aims to solve the problem of low alignment accuracy in the prior art. The method comprises the following steps of fixedly connecting two sets of image acquisition systems to a machining grinding head and a detection probe of the machine tool respectively; calibrating the distortion of the image acquisition systems; and shooting large and small dot pair targets which are adhered to a non-working area of a mirror body to be machined, comparing large and small dot coordinate change of target images at the current position and the initial reference position, calculating the relative rotation angle and translation quantity of the two positions, repeating the steps, and obtaining surface shape detection distribution of the mirror body after the mirror body is traversed to guide the accurate alignment of the machine tool. The high alignment accuracy between the machining grinding head and the detection probe of the machine tool and the mirror body to be machined provides guarantee for high consistency of the traversing track of the machining grinding head and a machining track planned according to the detection surface shape, and the surface shape with higher machining accuracy can be obtained.
