Why is MRF® better than conventional polishing?
MRF is a deterministic polishing technique. It is deterministic because the polishing tool effectively doesn’t change, and the removal function is interferometrically characterized. Because the removal is highly stable, and can be characterized interferometrically, the system can efficiently deliver high precision parts. Other advantages are that the polishing tool is easily adjusted, and conforms perfectly to the workpiece surface, enabling aspheric polishing. The process achieves very high removal rates with no normal loads, and therefore no subsurface damage.
