Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for processing a two-sided optically active lens with a cutting and / or milling unit for processing at least a first side of the lens, wherein a first holding device for clamping the lens and a transformer unit for re-clamping the lens from the first side is provided on a second side for processing the second side of the lens and a method for producing a lens from a lens blank with two unprocessed sides, which is clamped in a rotatable about a workpiece spindle axis lens mount, after which a first optically active surface with an optical axis the first side of the lens blank is machined, wherein the optical axis of this surface lies substantially in the workpiece spindle axis and a method for processing a two-sided optically active lens with a cutting and / or milling unit for processing at least the first side of the lens, wherein the lens is held by a first holding device associated with a second side, and a transformer unit is provided for circumscribing the lens from
- a lens blank made of plastic or glass is used, whose one or first side identifies already the final optically effective form.
- this is the front side, ie the side facing away from the eye, which as a rule forms a spherical surface.
- Such lens blanks are in gradations stockpiled in terms of the radii of curvature of the spherical surface.
- For the abrasive toric processing of the rear surface or second side of the lens blank is blocked, that is, fixed with the front surface or first side of a block piece, which is clamped in the chuck of a lens grinding machine.
- the front or first side is usually provided with an individual progressive addition surface by means of a cutting process.
- a progressive addition surface is understood to mean a surface which deviates in some areas from a symmetrical-generally spherical-base surface, so that a progressive lens with near and far-vision regions and the corresponding transition regions is formed.
- the base surface of the front surface or first side relative to the rear surface or second side is tilted, offset and / or phase-rotated.
- the lens blank is previously attached to the rear surface on a block piece by means of a metallic paste.
- the thus blocked lens is clamped for processing in the head of a workpiece spindle. Since the lens blank is mounted directly on the block piece, the tilt, offset, and / or phase of blocking must be taken into account by tilting the lens blank on the block piece. As a result, the blocking takes a long time. In addition, this requires a separate machine. Despite all care This additional step results in certain unavoidable inaccuracies.
- the machine has a cutting unit and a polishing unit for processing one side of a lens. A complete processing of the lens on both sides is not provided.
- the invention has for its object to form a device and a method in such a way and to design that a complete machining of the lens is ensured on both sides.
- the positioning feature is a reference to the orientation of the first and / or the second side of the lens.
- the reference between the positioning feature and the first side serves to align the lens in the second holder with respect to an optical axis of the first side.
- the positioning feature is generated during machining of the first page in the same setup. The relation between this first holding surface and the supporting part to the first side is given. The relationship between the first page and the second page is present anyway.
- the support member is then removed after clamping by the second holder.
- a robot arm can also be used as a second holding device or for re-clamping.
- the reference surface is a portion of the edge of the lens that remains after processing the first side of the lens. With or after editing the second page, this reference surface is removed.
- the second holding device has at least two holding parts, each with at least one, at least one reference surface associated plant.
- the uniform design of the system and the holding part ensures accurate positioning of the lens without additional reference between the system and the holding part.
- the attachment of the lens holder is designed as a counter surface to the annular surface or reference surface of the lens blank and extends perpendicular to the workpiece spindle axis.
- a support part which can be brought into abutment with the first side of the lens is provided, wherein the support part has a plastically and / or elastically deformable surface which can be applied to the first side of the lens and the surface is made of bandage - And / or filler formed and / or curable.
- a support of the lens is given, which ensures the processing of the second page.
- the curing of the surface or of the adhesive ensures a pretension-free support of the lens and thus a reproducible processing of the second side.
- a device for signing and / or marking the lens is provided. This ensures the positioning of the lens in its subsequent recording within a component, such as a spectacle frame.
- the signing takes place here either in a cutting unit by a tool and / or in a transformer unit by a laser.
- the marking also serves to position the lens relative to the holding device, as long as the cover is not guaranteed by the re-tightening device when re-clamping.
- a washing and / or rinsing device is provided for the lens.
- the first side of the lens can thus be cleaned prior to removal and the finished lens before removal.
- the washing and / or rinsing device is provided here in a polishing unit.
- the orthogonally arranged reference surface is used for vertical alignment, wherein the reference surface arranged in parallel determines the radial position of the lens. It is also possible to ensure the alignment of the lens in the vertical and in the radial direction over a molding surface.
- the respective required inclination or the respectively required offset of the lens blank when editing the second side is thus obtained by working out a Spannabsatzes whose axis is tilted relative to the optical axis of the first optical surface and / or offset , So that the turned lens blank can be tilted and / or offset clamped.
- the second surface is now machined with its optical axis coincident with the workpiece spindle axis.
- Elevations or depressions that define the progressive surface represent only a small deviation that can be easily included in the trajectory.
- an optical axis of a progressive lens When in the description of the invention of an optical axis of a progressive lens is mentioned, so it is meant an axis which describes the mean curvature of the progressive power surface and is oriented on the optical axis of the underlying symmetrical base.
- the clamping shoulder has a cylindrical lateral surface and an annular support surface extending perpendicular thereto.
- the lateral surface is detected by pliers or holding parts of a lens holder or holding device in order to hold the lens blank in a rotationally fixed manner, the bearing surface resting on the abutments of the holding parts. Since the normal of the support surface is tilted relative to the blank axis and the upper end or the system of holding parts or their system is in a perpendicular to the workpiece spindle axis counter surface, the lens blank is held with a tilted relative to the workpiece spindle axis axis in the lens holder.
- the major surface axes of the two sides must be correlated with each other. This, too, can be taken into account in the clamping paragraph by incorporating a phase marking, which interacts mechanically or optically with a corresponding counter mark on the lens mount, into the clamping shoulder. This makes it possible to use the turned lens blank phase-accurate in the lens mount, so that the controller, which knows the relative position of the workpiece spindle to the machining tool, thus also receives information about the phase alignment of the lens blank and thus a phase-matched Edit the second page can cause.
- bar marks or signatures are incorporated, which make it possible to adjust the angular position of the two optical surfaces to each other for the processing of the second side and to control.
- stroke marks also called signatures
- the bar marks contain information about the position of the major and minor axes of the lens base. Markings on both sides are mainly needed for edge processing of spectacle lenses, which must be used in exact phase in spectacle frames.
- the object is also achieved by a method according to claim 12.
- the positioning feature can also be incorporated as a phase marker in the clamping paragraph, so that a phase-accurate insertion of the turned lens blank is possible.
- polishing includes the finest diamond processing or machining without additives, only with water. As a result, minimal cutting marks are revised or removed.
- a receiving adapter arranged on the second side of the lens for processing the first side is released from the second side of the lens, and the second side of the lens is processed by the cutting unit.
- the lens is stretched by holding parts of the second holding device in the radial direction, wherein the positioning feature formed as a reference surface of the lens is brought into abutment with at least one holding part or a bearing of the holding part.
- the system is here punctiform, linear or flat, so that the reference surface can be applied.
- the support member has a plastic-elastic surface, which is cured after application, so that the lens is supported stress-free.
- a marking and / or signing for later aligning the lens on the first side and / or on the second side is placed or incorporated, wherein after the processing of the first side, a protective layer or a protective film is placed on this .
- the signing can be done by a laser immediately before re-clamping or with the cutting or milling process.
- the marking also serves to position the lens relative to the holding device, provided that the reference is not guaranteed by the relay during re-clamping.
- the lens is washed after processing the first side or after polishing and before applying the protective layer or the protective film and the first side and / or the second side is provided with a coating.
- the coating of both sides at once is of greater importance.
- the lens is advantageous for the lens to be held by the clamping jaws of the second holding device after the first side has been processed and removed from the first holding device.
- the relative position of the lens to the first holding device from the system controller to the second holding device is transferable.
- the use of signatures and / or markings can be omitted.
- the lens is released from a receiving adapter and / or is released after processing of the second side by a support member. This ensures the processing or completion of the lens after the respective processing step.
- Edge finishing after coating removes critical edge coating areas and creates special mounting options through shaping, grooving and drilling the lens to attach it to the eyeglass frame.
