Abstract: In order to fabricate optical microstructures at a high efficiency but low cost way, ultra-precision diamond machining technology with fast tool servo (FTS) was developed in this study and a typical sine-wave microstructure with a form accuracy of 0.65 μm and surface roughness of 45 nm was fabricated by this technology. Moreover, the effects of cutting conditions such as feed rate and spindle speed on surface quality were discussed, the experimental results suggested that better surface quality can be obtained when a higher spindle speed but a relatively lower feed rate were employed. In addition, the cutting experiments also showed that the surface machined with FTS was much better than that machined without FTS. At last, the tool wear behaviour in ultra-precision diamond machining of sine-wave microstructure was explored.
