Title: | A bonnet and fluid jet polishing facility for optics fabrication related to the E-ELT | Authors: | VECCHI, Gabriele BASSO, Stefano CIVITANI, Marta Maria GHIGO, Mauro PARESCHI, Giovanni RIVA, Marco ZERBI, Filippo Maria |
Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | MEMORIE DELLA SOCIETA ASTRONOMICA ITALIANA | Number: | 86 | Issue: | 3 | First Page: | 408 | Abstract: | A robotic polishing machine has been implemented at INAF-Brera Astronomical Observatory within the T-REX project. The facility, IRP1200 by Zeeko Ltd., consists of a 7-axis computer-controlled polishing/forming machine capable of producing precision surfaces on several optical materials. The machine enables two methods, the bonnet and the fluid jet polishing. We report on the results of the standard bonnet polishing machine acceptance tests that have been completed at our site. We intend to use the machine to support development and production programs related to the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), in particular, for making part of the optics of the Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics RelaY (MAORY) module. <P /> | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/23394 | URL: | https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015MmSAI..86..408V/abstract http://sait.oat.ts.astro.it/MSAIt860315/index.html |
