Cylindrical lens core for optical transceiver was designed and machined. With the lens design data, WC asymmetric core surface data were generated for non-revolutional ultra-precision grinding. Grinding process for optimum machining conditions of target surface was studied in terms of surface roughness and form profile. We used experimental results to optimize turbine speed, feed-rate and depth of cut with durable grinding wheel wear. Ground WC cores were measured contact type profilers and verified.
