The measuring system comprises a white light interference measuring head 5, a contact measuring head 7 and a tomography measuring head 8, the contact measuring head 7 is adopted to realize contact measurement, and the measuring system has the characteristics of high reliability, high longitudinal precision, simplicity and convenience in operation and the like. In the non-contact measurement method, the white light interference measuring head 5 can measure the surface quality of the microstructure array, but the conventional white light interference measurement equipment has larger size, and meanwhile, the white light interference requires that the measured surface gradient cannot be too large, otherwise, the problem of measurement data loss occurs; the tomography probe 8 is also a commonly used microstructure array measuring method, and has the advantages of high speed, high efficiency, capability of measuring a structure with a larger scale, and low measuring precision.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, before the part is machined, the above-mentioned measuring system is calibrated, and the calibration steps are as follows:
s10: processing a small-range microstructure array on the trial cut piece;
specifically, one processing means in the processing selection processing part is selected to process a workpiece to be processed, a cutter is installed, the cutter is controlled by a shafting motion system to process a trial cut piece, the space coordinate of the cutter in a processing coordinate system at the moment is recorded, and the space coordinate of the cutter microstructure is calculated according to the space coordinate of the cutter.

Therefore, the calibration of the measuring system is completed, the transformation relation between the measuring coordinate systems of the multiple measuring heads and the machining coordinate system is obtained through the calibration process, the three measuring heads are effectively positioned, so that the accurate measurement of the workpiece to be machined is realized in the subsequent machining process, and the precision of part machining is ensured.
Further, as shown in fig. 4, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, when a part is machined, the part to be machined is first analyzed, that is, step S20: analyzing the workpiece to be processed, selecting a proper processing mode and a proper cutter and designing a processing path and technological parameters according to the structural form and characteristics of the workpiece and the material to be processed. For example, for a microstructure array formed by a revolution surface, an ultra-precision milling method is adopted by taking a microlens array as an example; aiming at the microstructure array formed by the pyramid and the like, the machining efficiency and the machining precision are improved by adopting a planing and fly cutting method by taking the micro prism array as an example.
Due to the different processing methods used for different microarray structures, for example, the microlens array only needs a single processing method, i.e., only one processing mode is needed. Most microarray structures require multiple processing steps for complex processing. Therefore, in the present invention, for a microarray structure requiring a plurality of processing methods, after one processing method is completed, step S4 is performed: and (5) replacing the processing method, and continuing to the steps S2 and S3, so that the composite processing of the microarray structure is realized.
Further, after the machining route planning is completed, step S21 is performed: and (4) measuring the surface profile of the workpiece to be processed in situ to finish high-precision leveling of the workpiece. In order to realize high-precision leveling, in the process, the inclination angle of the workpiece to be machined needs to be adjusted for multiple times until a preset value is met, and as shown in fig. 5, the specific leveling process is as follows:
s210: placing the to-be-processed workpiece with a smooth surface on an objective table, and controlling a contact type measuring head 8 through a shafting motion system to measure the surface profile of the to-be-processed workpiece to obtain measurement data;
s211: performing plane fitting on the measured data to obtain an included angle between a fitting plane and an XY axis;
s212: and correspondingly adjusting the inclination angle platform 9 according to the included angle to reduce the inclination angle of the workpiece to be machined, and repeating the steps until the inclination angle of the workpiece to be machined is smaller than a preset value, so that the leveling precision of the workpiece to be machined is ensured, and the preset value is set differently according to the material property of the workpiece to be machined.
Therefore, the leveling process of the workpiece to be machined is realized, the in-situ measurement means is adopted for auxiliary leveling in the process, the high-precision leveling of the workpiece to be machined with the free-form surface is realized, the machining precision of the workpiece to be machined is further improved, and the method has important significance for improving the machining efficiency and realizing the high-precision machining process.

Specifically, in the process, after the tool is mounted, the tool is controlled by the shafting motion system to perform trial machining on the workpiece to be machined, the depth of the measurement structure is obtained through the measurement part, and the relative height between the tool and the surface of the workpiece is obtained according to the depth, so that the tool setting process is completed. In the prior art, the tool setting accuracy is low through a trial machining mode, the surface of a workpiece is easy to damage, but the tool setting mode of the trial machining is low in cost and simple to operate, so that in order to make up for the defects caused by the tool setting mode of the trial machining, a measuring method of fault layer scanning is integrated in the tool setting process, the high-precision measuring and trial cutting processes can be directly completed through the integrated equipment, and the accuracy of the trial cutting process is improved.
Further, the machining path and the machining parameters of step S20 control the machining part to machine the workpiece through the shafting motion system.
Thus, the primary processing of the workpiece to be processed is completed, and because the primary processing has low precision and the processing path may have certain deviation, it is difficult to ensure the geometric precision and the surface quality of the microstructure array, in the invention, the secondary processing, i.e. the compensation processing, is designed, as shown in fig. 6, the specific steps are as follows:
s30: measuring the machined workpiece to obtain surface roughness and surface shape errors;
s31: compensating the machining path and the machining parameters according to the measurement result;
s32: the compensation processing is performed according to the processing path and the processing parameters in S31.
S33: and repeating the steps S30 to S32 until the processed workpiece reaches the processing precision requirement.
Specifically, the surface roughness and the surface shape error can be obtained by measuring and analyzing the white light interference measuring head 5 and the tomography measuring head 7, and if the measuring result does not meet the machining precision requirement, the secondary machining area is determined according to the measuring result, and corresponding machining parameters and machining paths are set. And repeating the steps S30 to S32 until the processed workpiece reaches the processing precision requirement, and until the array reaches the processing precision requirement.
Therefore, the compensation processing of the microstructure array is completed, the microstructure array after primary processing is measured by the measuring part to complete the planning of the path of the compensation processing area through the compensation processing process, and compared with a compensation processing method in the prior art in which a cutter is used as a sensor to scan the shape, the method has higher measurement precision, ensures the geometric precision and the surface quality of the microstructure array, is fully suitable for the processing of the optical microstructure array, and increases the application range.
