The invention belongs to the field of precision
processing and manufacturing of optical elements, and relates to a
processing method of an L-shaped ZnSe (
zinc selenide) turning
prism, which solves the problem of the classical
optical processing method that the polyhedron
prism with complicated structure is difficultly processed. The
processing method mainly comprises the following steps of according to the completing size of the
prism, calculating the initial structure of a blank, and using an
abrasive wire sawing
machine to
cut the initial structure;
grinding the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the blank, and reducing the thickness; manufacturing a fixture and a flying cutter disc, wherein the fixture is used for fixing the prism, and the flying cutter disc is used for clamping
a diamond cutter; positioning and fixing the blank and the fixture of the turning prism on a precision turntable of a lathe, and forming
a diamond flying cutter turning type turning prism processing
system; designing and implementing a turning processing path, and adopting a rough turning and precision turning two-step processing method to form. The processing method has the
advantage that under the condition of guaranteeing of the part accuracy, the production efficiency is improved, and the labor intensity is decreased.
