The invention belongs to the technical field of optical element
machining, and particularly discloses an edge error control method in optical lens small
grinding head optical
machining. The edge errorcontrol method comprises specific steps that firstly, a workpiece is measured to obtain a
surface shape error, an appropriate quadratic term is added to the surface removing amount for adjustment, and the edge
machining difficulty is lowered; meanwhile, a
polishing path is abstracted to discrete sampling points, and a removing function of each sampling point is calculated according to a removingfunction model; then, the
residence time is solved through a space variation
deconvolution algorithm; and finally, a control program is generated according to the
polishing path and the
residence time, and
polishing is carried out on the workpiece. The removing function changing along with the position is adopted to solve the
residence time, and the removing amount of the edge part can be precisely controlled; the non-linear
deconvolution algorithm can adapt to the shifting removing function; and by means of the
surface shape adjusting technology, the convergence difficulty of the edge error is lowered to the maximum extent. According to the edge error control method, the requirement for the control precision of a polishing
system is relatively low, and therefore the small
grinding head polishing cost can be reduced, and the machining efficiency is improved.
