Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
In this project, the centering process of medical electronic optical glass lenses is developed for optical axis centration testing module, optimization of clamps, monitoring by multi-sensor and the prediction of lens quality. The self-developed product of optical axis centration testing module is built on the centering machine. The cause and the calibration method are analyzed to minimize the centering error. On the other hand, the parameterized static structural analysis is discussed with different materials, structures, and clamping forces to predict the scratches by clamps on lenses. The centering process will set up multiple sensors to collect centering parameters and monitor the processes in different parameters. With the virtual platform and the closed loop system of centering machine, the objective of this project is to make the whole centering process in the specification of centering error < 30” and quality > 95%.
Results/Contributions

This project develops the intelligent centering system, which focuses on the centering process of optical glass lenses in medical electronics area. Centering is the key process of glass lens manufacture to control the optical axis precision. Since the lens with precise optical axis is necessary in a medical microscope. The development of the intelligent centering system can improve the national process ability of optical glass lens to reach the level of medical electronics.

As the optical axis precision is improved, scratches and edge cracks are easily generated in centering process. Therefore, this project developed the clamping optimization and multi-sensing technology for process monitoring and prediction. The optimized clamping structure was designed with the mathematical model. The stress analysis was done with the parameters including materials, geometries and clamping forces. The clamping stress of the lens was simulated to predict the scratches of lens surface. The results of simulation were then imported into the support vector regression (SVR) to enhance the efficiency of analysis. On the other hand, the experiment of clamp trimming was designed to evaluate the effects of parameters on the roughness of clamp edge. The clamping optimization was realized. The scratch specification can be reached to <L1x0.001 by the clamping optimization model. Furthermore, the defect prediction and parameter optimization model were developed by the genetic algorithm (GA). The process efficiency can be improved with the quality of wheel grinding that meets the high-end specification. The quality was reached to edge crack < E0.1 and scratch < L1x0.001.
