System and method of magnetic abrasive surface processing

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for a system and method of processing a surface using a mixture containing magnetic particles. A mixture is disposed on a workpiece and exposed to a dynamic magnetic field. In response to the dynamic magnetic field, the magnetic particles of the mixture may move along the workpiece. The movement of the magnetic particles creates a pattern of grooves on the surface of the workpiece.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a workpiece comprising a mixture disposed on a surface of the workpiece, the mixture comprising a plurality of magnetic particles and a plurality of abrasive particles; a robotic arm comprising a workpiece holder holding the workpiece, the robotic arm configured to adjust a position of the workpiece; and a magnetic field generator adjacent to the surface of the workpiece, where the magnetic field generator exposes the magnetic particles to a magnetic field extending between a pole tip of the magnetic field generator and the workpiece holder through the workpiece, the pole tip configured to cause the magnetic field to rotate with respect to the workpiece and workpiece holder, wherein the workpiece holder moves relative to the pole tip to displace the magnetic particles along the surface of the workpiece and generate a pattern comprising a plurality of grooves on the surface of the workpiece using the abrasive particles.
