摘要:
A method of sequentially performing a plurality of jointing operations includes positioning an automated device to form a mechanical joint into a workpiece and forming a mechanical joint into the workpiece. Once the mechanical joint is formed, the workpiece is scanned to generate data indicating the surface geometry of the workpiece at a location including the mechanical joint. One or more geometric features of the surface geometry are identified, and if the identified geometric features are within respective predetermined specification thresholds, the automated device is repositioned to form a subsequent mechanical joint into the workpiece.

A three-axis, computer controlled apparatus (10) for edging optical lenses maps the surfaces of a lens blank (L) along a path defining the shape of the lens to be cut from the lens blank and from which mapping a computer controlled cutting algorithm directs the movement of the lens in the R, Z and theta axes direction. The apparatus (10) provides rough cuts, finished cuts and automatic placement of bevels and grooves along the edge of the lens with minimal operator intervention.

Grinder for engraving glass, mirrors and the like comprising a supporting frame (2,3;4;5,6), a beam (12) movably mounted on the frame, a slide or carriage (30) slidably mounted on the beam (12) in a transverse direction with respect to the direction of motion of the beam, a plurality of motorized grinding wheels (15 to 18) mounted aligned on the slide or carriage (30), means (27) for selective lifting or lowering of each grinding wheel, and a sheet-bearing table (32) rotatably arranged below the beam (12).
摘要:
A method for fabricating an array of precisely shaped and located shaped elements utilizes a precisely shaped patterned abrasive to form channels in a workpiece. One or more patterned abrasives contact and abrade along one or more intersecting axes to define the shaped elements. The shaped elements may include optical elements, semiconductor elements, or both.
