NSLS-II Seminar

"Zeeko Corrective Polishing and Smoothing Processes with Illustrations of their use in “Large Science Projects”"

Presented by Richard Freeman, ZEEKO Ltd

Monday, January 30, 2012, 11:00 am — Bldg. 703 Large Conference Room

The talk will present the background and development of the Zeeko “Precessions” corrective polishing process with details the principles of the process and of the way that its universal toolkit and supporting software can be used to develop polishing solutions for many essential but complex optics. Examples of artefacts processed in this way will be shown as will the details and development of on machine (and off machine) metrology that has been developed for the control of these surfaces. Specifically included will be the techniques used and the results obtained on the following key projects:

1. E-ELT (the European Extremely Large Telescope) and TMT (the US Thirty Meter Telescope)
2. The production of X-Ray Telescope Mandrels for the Japanese NeXt telescope and the European e-Rosita telescope
3. The direct polishing of an experimental glass shell for WFXT (Wide Field of View X-Ray Telescope)
4. Supporting Metrology and details of our polishing partner for making Synchrotron mirrors

Hosted by: Mourad Idir
