Description
FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to diamond machining of microreplication tools used in creating microreplicated structures.


BACKGROUND

Machining techniques can be used to create a wide variety of work pieces such as microreplication tools. Microreplication tools are commonly used for extrusion processes, injection molding processes, embossing processes, casting processes, or the like, to create microreplicated structures. The microreplicated structures may comprise optical films, abrasive films, adhesive films, mechanical fasteners having self-mating profiles, or any molded or extruded parts having microreplicated features of relatively small dimensions, such as dimensions less than approximately 1000 microns.


The microstructures can also be made by various other methods. For example, the structure of the master tool can be transferred on other media, such as to a belt or web of polymeric material, by a cast and cure process from the master tool to form a production tool; this production tool is then used to make the microreplicated structure. Other methods such as electroforming can be used to copy the master tool. Another alternate method to make a light directing film is to directly cut or machine a transparent material to form the appropriate structures.


Other techniques include chemical etching, bead blasting, or other stochastic surface modification techniques. However, those techniques are typically not capable of forming the sharp, precise microstructures, and the breadth of features, desired to obtain the appropriate light diffusion characteristic achieved with a cutting tool using the methods of the present invention. In particular, these methods are not capable of producing highly accurate, repeating structures because of the inherent impreciseness and unrepeatability associated with chemical etching, bead blasting, and other stochastic surface modification techniques.


SUMMARY OF INVENTION

A first cutting tool assembly includes a tool post and an actuator configured for attachment to the tool post and for electrical communication with a controller. A tool tip attached to the actuator is mounted for movement with respect to a work piece to be cut. The actuator provides for independent and variable control of the movement of the tool tip in an x-direction into the work piece and a z-direction laterally along the work piece for use in selectively cutting the work piece.


A second cutting tool assembly includes a tool post capable of lateral movement along a work piece to be cut and an actuator configured for attachment to the tool post and for electrical communication with a controller, the actuator including a piezoelectric stack. A tool tip attached to the piezoelectric stack is mounted for movement with respect to the work piece to be cut. The actuator provides for independent and variable control of the movement of the tool tip in an x-direction into the work piece and a z-direction laterally along the work piece for use in selectively cutting the work piece in order to make microstructures in the work piece.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Cutting Tool System


General diamond turning techniques are described in PCT Published Application WO 00/48037, incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth. The apparatus used in methods and for making optical films or other films can include a fast servo tool. As disclosed in WO 00/48037, a fast tool servo (FTS) is a solid state piezoelectric (PZT) device, referred to as a PZT stack, which rapidly adjusts the position of a cutting tool attached to the PZT stack. The FTS allows for highly precise and high speed movement of the cutting tool in directions within a coordinate system as further described below.



FIG. 1 is a diagram of a cutting tool system 10 for making microstructures in a work piece. Microstructures can include any type, shape, and dimension of structures on, indenting into, or protruding from the surface of an article. For example, microstructures created using the actuators and system described in the present specification can have a 1000 micron pitch, 100 micron pitch, 1 micron pitch, or even a sub-optical wavelength pitch around 200 nanometers (nm). These dimensions are provided for illustrative purposes only, and microstructures made using the actuators and system described in the present specification can have any dimension within the range capable of being tooled using the system.


System 10 is controlled by a computer 12. Computer 12 has, for example, the following components: a memory 14 storing one or more applications 16; a secondary storage 18 providing for non-volatile storage of information; an input device 20 for receiving information or commands; a processor 22 for executing applications stored in memory 16 or secondary storage 18, or received from another source; a display device 24 for outputting a visual display of information; and an output device 26 for outputting information in other forms such as speakers for audio information or a printer for a hardcopy of information.


The cutting of a work piece 54 is performed by a tool tip 44. An actuator 38 controls movement of tool tip 44 as work piece 54 is rotated by a drive unit and encoder 56, such as an electric motor controlled by computer 12. In this example, work piece 54 is shown in roll form such as a hard copper roll; however, it can be implemented in planar form and make use of other materials for machining. For example, the work piece can be alternatively implemented with aluminum, nickel, steel, or plastics (e.g., acrylics). The particular material to be used may depend, for example, upon a particular desired application such as various films made using the machined work piece. Actuator 38, and the actuators described below, can be implemented with stainless steel, for example, or other materials.


Actuator 38 is removably connected to a tool post 36, which is in turn located on a track 32. The tool post 36 and actuator 38 are configured on track 32 to move in both an x-direction and a z-direction as shown by arrows 40 and 42. Computer 12 is in electrical connection with tool post 36 and actuator 38 via one or more amplifiers 30. When functioning as a controller, computer 12 controls movement of tool post 36 along track 32 and movement of tool tip 44 via actuator 38 for machining work piece 54. If an actuator has multiple PZT stacks, it can use separate amplifiers to independently control each PZT stack for use in independently controlling movement of a tool tip attached to the stacks. Computer 12 can make use of a function generator 28 in order to provide waveforms to actuator 38 in order to machine various microstructures in work piece 54, as further explained below.


The machining of work piece 54 is accomplished by coordinated movements of various components. In particular, the system, under control of computer 12, can coordinate and control movement of actuator 38, via movement of tool post 36, along with movement of the work piece in the c-direction and movement of tool tip 44 in one or more of the x-direction, y-direction, and z-direction, those coordinates being explained below. The system typically moves tool post 36 at a constant speed in the z-direction, although a varying speed may be used. The movements of tool post 36 and tool tip 44 are typically synchronized with the movement of work piece 54 in the c-direction (rotational movement as represented by line 53). All of these movements can be controlled using, for example, numerical control techniques or a numerical controller (NC) implemented in software, firmware, or a combination in computer 12.


Work piece 54, after having been machined, can be used to make films having the corresponding microstructures for use in a variety of applications. Examples of those films include optical films, friction control films, and micro-fasteners or other mechanical microstructured components. The films are typically made using a coating process in which a material in a viscous state is applied to the work piece, allowed to at least partially cure, and then removed. The film composed of the cured material will have substantially the opposite structures than those in the work piece. For example, an indentation in the work piece results in a protrusion in the resulting film.


Cooling fluid 46 is used to control the temperature of tool post 36 and actuator 38 via lines 48 and 50. A temperature control unit 52 can maintain a substantially constant temperature of the cooling fluid as it is circulated through tool post 36 and actuator 38. Temperature control unit 52 can be implemented with any device for providing temperature control of a fluid. The cooling fluid can be implemented with an oil product, for example a low viscosity oil. The temperature control unit 52 and reservoir for cooling fluid 46 can include pumps to circulate the fluid through tool post 36 and actuator 38, and they also typically include a refrigeration system to remove heat from the fluid in order to maintain it at a substantially constant temperature. Refrigeration and pump systems to circulate and provide temperature control of a fluid are known in the art. In certain embodiments, the cooling fluid can also be applied to work piece 54 in order to maintain a substantially constant surface temperature of the material to be machined in the work piece.



FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a coordinate system for a cutting tool such as system 10. The coordinate system is shown as movement of a tool tip 62 with respect to a work piece 64. Tool tip 62 may correspond with tool tip 44 and is typically attached to a carrier 60, which is attached to an actuator. The coordinate system, in this exemplary embodiment, includes an x-direction 66, a y-direction 68, and a z-direction 70. The x-direction 66 refers to movement in a direction substantially perpendicular to work piece 64. The y-direction 68 refers to movement in a direction transversely across work piece 64 such as in a direction substantially parallel to a plane of rotation of work piece 64. The z-direction 70 refers to movement in a direction laterally along work piece 64 such as in a direction substantially perpendicular to a plane of rotation of work piece 64. The rotation of the work piece is referred to as the c-direction, as also shown in FIG. 1. If the work piece is implemented in planar form, as opposed to roll form, then the y-direction and z-direction refer to movement in mutually orthogonal directions across the work piece in directions substantially perpendicular to the x-direction.


The system 10 can be used for high precision, high speed machining. This type of machining must account for a variety of parameters, such as the coordinated speeds of the components and the work piece material. It typically must take into consideration the specific energy for a given volume of metal to be machined, for example, along with the thermal stability and properties of the work piece material. Cutting parameters relating to machining are described in the following references, all of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth: Machining Data Handbook, Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 66-60051, Second Edition (1972); Edward Trent and Paul Wright, Metal Cutting, Fourth Edition, Butterworth-Heinemann, ISBN 0-7506-7069-X (2000); Zhang Jin-Hua, Theory and Technique of Precision Cutting, Pergamon Press, ISBN 0-08-035891-8 (1991); and M.

PZT Stack, Tool Tip Carrier, and Tool Tip



FIG. 3 is a diagram of an exemplary PZT stack 72 for use in a cutting tool. A PZT stack is used to provide movement of a tool tip connected to it and operates according to the PZT effect, which is known in the art. According to the PZT effect, an electric field applied to certain types of materials causes expansion of them along one axis and contraction along another axis. A PZT stack typically includes a plurality of materials 74, 76, and 78 enclosed within a casing 84 and mounted on a base plate 86. The materials in this exemplary embodiment are implemented with a ceramic material subject to the PZT effect. Three disks 74, 76, and 78 are shown for exemplary purposes only and any number of disks or other materials, and any type of shapes of them, can be used based upon, for example, requirements of particular embodiments. A post 88 is adhered to the disks and protrudes from casing 84. The disks can be implemented with any PZT material such as for example, a barium titanate, lead zirconate, or lead titanate material mixed, pressed, based, and sintered. One such PZT material is available from Kinetic Ceramics, Inc., 26240 Industrial Blvd., Hayward, Calif. 94545, U.S.A. The disks can also be implemented with a magnetostrictive material, for example.


Electrical connections to the disks 74, 76, and 78, as represented by lines 80 and 82, provide electrical fields to them in order to provide for movement of post 88. Due to the PZT effect and based upon the type of electric field applied, precise and small movement of post 88, such as movement within several microns, can be accomplished. Also, the end of PZT stack 72 having post 88 can be mounted against one or more Belleville washers, which provides for preloading of the PZT stack. The Belleville washers have some flexibility to permit movement of post 88 and a tool tip attached to it. Each PZT stack in the actuators described below can also incorporate Belleville washers for preloading or, alternatively, any device mounted against each PZT stack for preloading of it.

As shown in FIGS. 4A-4D, tool tip carrier 90 includes a planar back surface 92, a tapered front surface 94, and a protruding surface 98 with angled or tapered sides. An aperture 96 provides for mounting of tool tip carrier 90 onto a post of a PZT stack. Tapered surface 98 would be used for mounting of a tool tip for machining of a work piece. In this exemplary embodiment, tool tip carrier 90 includes a planar surface to enhance stability of mounting it by providing for more surface area contact when mounted to a PZT stack, and it includes the tapered front surfaces to reduce the mass of it. Tool tip carrier 90 would be mounted to post 88 of the PZT stack by use of an adhesive, brazing, soldering, a fastener such as a bolt, or in other ways.


Other configurations of tool tip carriers are possible based, for example, upon requirements of particular embodiment. The term “tool tip carrier” is intended to include any type of structure for use in holding a tool tip for machining a work piece. Tool tip carrier 90 can be implemented with, for example, one or more of the following materials: sintered carbide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, steel, or titanium. The material for tool tip carrier 90 preferably is stiff and has a low mass.



FIGS. 5A-5D are views of an exemplary tool tip 100, which would be secured to surface 98 of tool tip carrier 90 such as by use of an adhesive, brazing, soldering, or in other ways.

The tool tip on a carrier 136 can be implemented with the tool tip carrier shown in FIGS. 4A-4D and the tool tip shown in FIGS. 5A-5D. Main body 112 also includes two apertures 114 and 115 for use in mounting it to tool post 36, such as via bolts, for machining work piece 54 under control of computer 12.


PZT stacks 118 and 116 are securely mounted in main body 112 for the stability required for precise controlled movement of tool tip 136. PZT stack 118 is secured in main body 112 by rails such as rails 120 and 122, and PZT stack 116 is secured in main body 112 by rails such as rails 124 and 126. The PZT stacks 118 and 116 can preferably be removed from main body 112 by sliding them along the rails and can be secured in place in main body 112 by bolts or other fasteners. PZT stacks 118 and 116 include electrical connections 130 and 134, respectively, for receiving signals from computer 12. The end caps of PZT stacks 118 and 116 include ports 128 and 132, respectively, for receiving cooling fluid such as oil from reservoir 46, circulating it around the PZT stacks, and delivering the oil back to reservoir 46 for maintaining temperature control of it.

In this embodiment, ring portions 152 and 156 have apertures 154 and 158, respectively. Aperture 154 can be used to secure paddle 150 to both PZT stack 118 and tool tip carrier 136 using, for example, a fastener. Paddle 150 is preferably made from titanium, and it can alternatively be made from other materials. For example, paddle 150 can alternatively be implemented with aluminum. A factor for a material to implement paddle 150 can include, for example, a strength to weight ratio of the material. Actuators 116 and 118 can be secured to paddle 150, as shown in FIG. 7E, by use of an adhesive, brazing, soldering, or in other ways.
