Techniques used to produce aspheric and other irregular curves are described in this article. Although the machinery is not unique, the manner in which it is applied is felt to be unusual. Typical of the many challenging jobs this company has produced was the grinding and polishing of numerous massive radiationshielding windows. These windows had a density of 3.2. Their physical dimensions were 2.1 m by 2.6 m by 125 mm thick. The weight of these windows was 1915 kg. A description of the equipment and techniques used will be given in a future article.
本文描述了用于制造非球面及其他不规则曲面的技术。虽然所用机械并非独一无二，但使用方式被认为与众不同。该公司所承接的众多具有挑战性的工作中，典型的一项是对大量厚重的辐射屏蔽窗进行研磨和抛光。这些窗户的密度为3.2。其物理尺寸为2.1米×2.6米×125毫米厚。这些窗户的重量为1915千克。未来的一篇文章中将对所使用的设备和技术进行描述。
