The manipulator is a simple numerical simulation of artificial which was used in manufacturing the mirror. It can be control by the computer to adjust the lap rev and speed, to achieve quantitative removal. In the processing of large-diameter primary mirror, we used a combination according to the actual situation of the processing method. Usually two or even more manipulators were used. The method is more efficiency than the traditional CCOS processing. In this paper, the various factors which affecting the removal efficiency of manipulator were experimented. After analyzing the experiment data, the best match parameter can be found. Use this best parameter in actual processing of large-diameter mirror, the efficiency was improved a lot.
