摘要
We present an overview of the engineering design and empirical performance of four stressed-lap polishing tools developed at the University of Arizona. Descriptions of the electromechanical actuators, servo systems, computer interfacing, and attachment of the lap to the polishing machine are provided. The empirical performance of a representative tool is discussed in terms of accuracy, repeatability and hysteresis. Finally, we estimate the statistical likelihood of aluminum lap-plate failure through a metal-fatigue analysis for a worst-case stress-cycling situation.
