Background
Hard and brittle materials such as optical glass, ceramics, silicon carbide and the like have excellent physical, chemical and mechanical properties and are more and more widely applied to the industrial fields of aviation, electronics, automobiles, metallurgy, bioengineering, national defense and the like. Electrochemical machining and electric spark machining are difficult to machine non-conductive materials, laser machining can cause cracks in high-temperature-resistant hard and brittle materials, and ultrasonic machining has proven to be an effective method for forming and machining hard and brittle materials. Ultrasonic machining is a machining method for removing materials by using ultrasonic vibration of a tool, impact, polishing and hydraulic impact of abrasives in a liquid medium with abrasives or dry abrasives and cavitation generated by the impact, polishing and hydraulic impact, or applying ultrasonic frequency vibration to the tool or a workpiece along a certain direction for machining or combining the workpieces by using the ultrasonic vibration. The ultrasonic micromachining technology is an important direction for the development of high precision and miniaturization, and is increasingly widely applied to the field of precision microfabrication.
Constant speed feeding and constant force feeding are two feeding modes commonly used for micro-ultrasonic machining, wherein the former mode is used for machining at a constant feeding speed, and the latter mode is used for machining at a constant machining force. The constant force control feeding system can reduce the fluctuation range of the processing force to a certain extent, improve the processing efficiency and improve the surface performance of a processed workpiece by measuring and comparing the average processing force and assisting various algorithms, but for micro-ultrasonic processing, the processing force is very small in the processing process, the sensitivity requirement of a processing force detection device is very high, the resolution ratio is often required to reach several millinewtons, otherwise, the measurement precision is difficult to guarantee, and the cost is very high. Constant feed is limited by the difference between the feed rate and the material removal rate, making it difficult to ensure process stability. For this reason, a corresponding technical solution needs to be designed for solution.
