摘要:
Methods for manufacturing a rotational non-axisymmetric lens which is manufactured by grinding using a machining tool, manufacturing a molding die for the lens, manufacturing a rotational non-axisymmetric mirror, and manufacturing a molding die for the mirror are provided. The provided methods are methods for manufacturing a rotational non-axisymmetric lens partially including a non-axisymmetric surface, manufacturing a molding die for the lens, manufacturing a rotational non-axisymmetric mirror partially including a non-axisymmetric surface, and manufacturing a molding die for the mirror. When a rotational non-axisymmetric surface is formed while scanning a surface of a workpiece by grinding or cutting means, the rotational non-axisymmetric surface is ground or cut by the grinding or cutting means while scanning the surface with movement in a direction along a meridional surface of the rotational non-axisymmetric surface.

An optical element processing tool for grinding or polishing an optical element includes: a base plate including a fixing region having a predetermined curvature; and a plurality of grindstones each formed in a columnar body having a same initial height, one end surface of the columnar body having an initial shape molded into a first spherical shape conforming to a processing target spherical shape of the optical element, and the other end surface of the columnar body being fixed to the fixing region of the base plate. A grindstone deviant from a condition among the plurality of grindstones, which is the grindstone not meeting a condition determined by a processing tool diameter of the processing tool, includes an outer end portion cut out at least in parallel to a center axis of the base plate so as to meet the condition.

The invention relates to a replaceable fine machining membrane (19) for fixing on a tool head (1), to which pressure can be applied, of a stationary fine machining tool for fine machining a workpiece surface. A fine machining means substrate (27) is integrated in the fine machining membrane (19), said fine machining membrane (19) having a crosslinked elastomer (40) and said fine machining means substrate (27) being embedded in the crosslinked elastomer (40). The invention also relates to a method for producing such a fine machining membrane (19) and to a stationary fine machining tool with a tool head (1) to which pressure can be applied and which has a removable fixing means (31) for fixing such a replaceable fine machining membrane (19). Finally, the invention relates to a method for producing the novel fine machining membrane (19). The invention allows the precise reproducible fine machining of workpiece surfaces even with highly convex or freely shaped membranes (19). Furthermore, a detaching or tearing of the fine machining means substrate (27) is prevented, and the fine machining is simplified and accelerated.
摘要:
A lens pad for use in surfacing a lens work piece, one side of which pad provides a working surface and the other side of which pad provides micro formations spread out substantially uniformly over that other side of the pad. When the lens pad is in use, it is attached to a surface of a lens surfacing tool. The latter surface provides micro formations spread substantially uniformly over that surface of the lens surfacing tool. The micro formations of the pad interengage or interlock with those of such a surface of such a lens surfacing tool when the pad is in use.Also, such a lens surfacing tool, a combination of such a pad attached to such a tool, and a lens surfacing machine having such a tool, or such a combination.

A polishing apparatus comprising a base for affixing structures thereto, a drive wheel, a polishing wheel assembly, a polishing belt, and at least one routing wheel engaged with the polishing belt. The polishing wheel assembly includes an elongated arm including a distal end, and a rotatable polishing wheel supported at the distal end of the elongated arm. The polishing belt is made with an abrasive outer surface to perform the polishing, and an inner surface for engagement with the perimeters of the drive wheel and the polishing wheel. The routing wheel is engaged with the outer surface of the polishing belt, such that the contact arc of the polishing belt with the polishing wheel differs from an arc of the polishing wheel perimeter extending from a first tangent line between the drive wheel and the polishing wheel to a second tangent line between the drive wheel and the polishing wheel.
