摘要： A method and an apparatus for machining an exterior surface of a metal alloy casing of a portable electronic device to form a combination of a flat edge surface, a curved edge surface and a flat bottom surface is disclosed. The flat edge surface is abraded by contacting a first flat section of a rotating cutting tool along a first circuit of a pre-determined continuous spiral path. The curved edge surface is abraded by contacting a convex section of the rotating cutting tool along additional circuits of the first pre-determined continuous spiral path. The pitch of vertical movement of the cutting tool is adjusted for each circuit of the continuous spiral path based on a resulting curvature of the metal alloy casing. The bottom surface is abraded by contacting a flat section of the cutting tool along a second pre-determined alternating direction linear path.

摘要： The invention relates to a pane of curved glass, at least one of the main faces of which is activated. The activation may especially be performed by abrasion by direct rubbing of the glass surface. Advantageously, an abrasive belt closed on itself and traveling over the surface of the glass is used. After activation, a hydrophobic coat may be deposited using, for example, a fluorinated silane. The glass coated with a hydrophobic coat may be used as window glass for a motor vehicle.

摘要： Methods for performing surface lapping using a robotic system are provided. In one embodiment, a method for lapping a surface includes providing a lapping assembly having a first base coupled to a second base by a flexible coupling member, and a lapping medium coupled to the second base, the flexible coupling member being configured to flex to allow the lapping medium to at least partially conform to the surface. The lapping medium is moveably applied to the surface using the lapping assembly. In another embodiment, the method further includes pneumatically controlling a pressure applied by the lapping medium to the surface using a pneumatic device operatively coupled to the second base.
