The control system is configured to control a pose of the mechanical arm 4, a swing of the rocker 31, a movement of the guide rail 22, start of the laser displacement sensor 21, a rise and fall of the lifting plate 6, start of the motor connected to the diamond dresser 74 and operation of the continuous polisher, and the industrial control computer and the programmable logic controller (PLC) control technology is adapted by the control system. The rocker 31 is adjusted to the position where the measuring head of the laser displacement sensor 21 moves radially along the polishing pad 81, the original surface profile of the polishing pad 81 is collected by moving the laser displacement sensor 21 along the linear guide rail 22. According to the measurement data on the surface profile of the polishing pad 81, the polishing pad surface dressing mechanism 7 is used to level the polishing pad 81 by adjusting dressing time at each position, and the planar part 88 is polished. Obtaining the material removal rate distribution through a difference between surface profiles before and after polishing the planar part 88, and according to the surface profile of each of the planar part 88 and the leveled polishing pad 81 as well as the removal rate distribution of the planar part 88 when polished with the leveled polishing pad 81, an ideal surface profile of the polishing pad 81 that can make the surface profile of the planar part 88 converged fast and dressing parameters thereof are determined by using a polishing pad surface profile design method. The surface profile of the polishing pad 81 is dressed as the calculated ideal surface profile of the polishing pad 81 by using the polishing pad surface dressing mechanism 7, and the planar part 88 is polished with the polishing pad 81. The polished planar part 88 is fed by the mechanical arm 4 to the planar part surface profile automatic measuring apparatus 5 for washing and drying, the surface profile is then measured at the measuring station 51 and whether a polishing result meets a requirement is determined; and if no, the above entire process is repeated till the high-precision planar part 88 meeting the requirement is obtained.
[0085]
[0086] When the pad needs to be dressed, the stepping motor 33 and motor 71 located on a top of the upright post 32 are started, the dressing time of the diamond dresser 74 in the polishing pad surface dressing mechanism 7 at each position is adjusted by controlling a swing speed of the rocker 31, and the polishing pad 81 is dressed to an ideal surface profile.

A material removal rate distribution is obtained through a difference between surface profiles before and after polishing the planar part 88. According to the surface profile of each of the planar part 88 and the leveled polishing pad 81 as well as the removal rate distribution of the planar part 88 when polished with the leveled polishing pad 81, an ideal surface profile of the polishing pad and dressing parameters thereof that can make the surface profile of the planar part converged fast are determined by using a polishing pad surface profile design method then the polishing pad 81 is dressed to the ideal surface profile and the planar part 88 is polished.
[0096] In Step 2: a measurement is made to determine whether the planar part 88 meets a machining precision requirement; and if yes, the machining is stopped.

[0101] Step 2: the original surface profile of the polishing pad 81 is collected by the polishing pad surface profile measuring apparatus 2, the dressing time of the diamond dresser 74 at each position is controlled by using the rocker mechanism 3 according to the measurement data of the original surface profile, the polishing pad 81 is leveled and the planar part 88 is polished. A material removal rate distribution is obtained through the difference between surface profiles before and after polishing the planar part 88, and according to the surface profile of each of the planar part 88 and the leveled polishing pad 81 as well as the removal rate distribution of the planar part 88 when polished with the leveled polishing pad 81, an ideal surface profile of the polishing pad 81 and dressing parameters thereof that can make the surface profile of the planar part 88 converged fast are determined by using a polishing pad surface profile design method.
[0102] Step 3: the diamond dresser 74 is in contact with the polishing pad 81 and a constant contact pressure is maintained between the diamond dresser 74 and the polishing pad 81 by virtue of direct sliding fit of the linear bearing 72 and the cylindrical shaft 73; a motor 71 is started to rotate the diamond dresser 74; a stepping motor 33 is started, and the dressing time of the diamond dresser 74 at each position is adjusted by controlling a swing speed of the rocker 31; and the polishing pad 81 is dressed to the ideal surface profile.
[0103] Step 4: the planar part 88 is polished with the obtained ideal polishing pad 81. Falling the lifting plate 6 upon the completion of the polishing processing, the polished planar part 88 is fed by the mechanical arm 4 to a washing station 53 for washing; and the planar part is fed to a drying station 52 for drying after removing the polishing slurry and rest impurities, and then is transferred to a measuring station 51 to measure the surface profile of the planar part 88 after the surface of the planar part 88 is clean; whether a machining result meets a requirement is determined, and if no, the above entire process is repeated till the surface of the high-precision planar part 88 meeting the requirement is obtained.
