Abstract:
A device for superfinishing treated surfaces of a workpiece, comprising:a clamping device for supporting the workpiece;a finishing block for finishing a surface of the workpiece;a holder for supporting said finishing block;a multi-axis drive device for driving said holder and effecting a multi-axis relative movement between the surface of the workpiece to be treated and said holder in a plane which is orthogonal to the surface of the workpiece to be treated;a control unit for controlling said multi-axis drive device, said control unit including: input means for inputting the profile of the surface of the workpiece to be treated to the control unit; and electronic calculating means; anda pivoting device connected to said holder and said control unit, wherein:said holder is seated pivotably about a virtual pivot axis by means of said pivoting device, said virtual pivot axis being orthogonal with respect to said plane;the pivot angle of said holder correspond to the position of said finishing block is determined by means of said calculating means; andsaid pivoting device is controlled by said control unit.
