The arrival of 24 inch mirror blanks.

文章 Chanlunlun » 週五 16 1月, 2004 17:22

Dear ATMs,

The 24 inch mirror blanks have arrived. Both the mirror and the tool are of thickness 1 inch, diameter 24 inches.

The focal length of the mirror has been decided to be at 84 inches. i.e. at a focal ratio of 3.5. We also decided to grind and polish the mirror by a full size tool and full size lap. The figuring of the mirror will be done by a small lap, only 3.5" in diameter.

The method of testing the prarboloid has not yet been fixed. Any one who has any idea about testing of big mirror please do not hesitate to offer your opinion. You are always welcome.

Hofefully the telescope will be finished before June this year.

Best regards

8) Sodium會唔會用NaOH溶感d玻璃先, 唔洗磨得噤辛苦呢? (千其唔好試, 講笑炸).

用full size tool磨完之後塊主鏡會唔會好薄?

真係好想有機會跟陳sir出去用支24"睇deepsky.

Dear Mr. Subaru,

For grinding and polishing of big mirror, a full size tool is a must. While a sub-diameter tool can also do the job quite well, it suffers from drawback of low efficiency.

You may have a lot of labour saved when using full size tool. All we need to do is to close monitor the edge thickness during rough grinding.The goal is to keep the edge as thick as possible. As experience from the 20 mirror inch tells, we can retain 100% edge thickness even with a full size tool.

Amazing!

I would like to learn and grind a 20" mirror. I did a 4" mirror a long time ago!

Regards,
David

請問鏡神所指的 full size tool 將是用何物料所製?

Dear Mr. WenXP

We have ordered two glass disks of 24 inch diameter and thickness 1 inch. One will be the mirror and one will be the tool. So the tool is exactlt the same as the mirror blank. It is a full size tool.

Dear Mr. OldSaltFish

This is also my worry. However as analysised by finite element method, the deformation of the mirror is verY very small even at 24:1 thickness ratio, under a 18 point floatation cell.

So we just go for it.
