Adaptive Secondary Glass Production G. Brusa
Outline • Production process • Current status • Characterization of Thin Shells • Residual Figure Error • Is there and effect of granite blocking (?) • Tools for handling • Schedule
RB production steps • FS generating • FS grinding • Holes drilling • BS generating • Edging and coring • Gold coating (RB#1&2)
TS production steps • FS Generating • FS Grinding • FS Figuring • FS Blocking (TS#1) • BS Generating (Thinning) • BS Grinding and polishing (TS#2) • Edging and coring • De-blocking • Aluminizing
RBCompleted*. Sec. #1 (B) TS Polishing of front surface completed. Status RB Completed. In Italy for integration. Sec. #2 (A) TS Polishing of back surface.
Optical Measurements • Interferogram (with null lens). (To determine figure error) • Conjugate points. (To determine vertex RoC and conic constant).
Coating Fixture Main frame, Swivel lift at center, secure to coating chamber at ends Equalizer, rod end pivot, travel limits and anti-rotation Location for center lift swivel
